My artistic and design practice is multidisciplinary, shaped by a background in illustration, architecture, interior design, and 3D visualization. Drawing is central to my process and serves as a tool for observation, thinking, and developing visual ideas. I combine hand-drawn methods with digital and AI-based techniques, exploring the intersection between intuition, structure, and emerging technologies.

At this stage of my practice, I focus on drawing and painting the urban environment, working directly on location and using a variety of materials, including ink, pencil, and watercolor. I am particularly interested in everyday city scenes, architectural details, and the quiet rhythm of urban life as experienced through attentive observation.

I am an active member of Urban Sketchers Helsinki and the AkvaRT Watercolor Society, which allows my practice to remain connected to both community-based drawing traditions and contemporary visual discourse.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Design from the Saint Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design. My professional experience includes long-term work as an illustrator and artist, architectural facade and 3D visualization projects, interior design practice, and the development of AI-based creative projects.

Currently based in Finland, I am interested in participating in the Global Art Point community to engage in collaborative, interdisciplinary, and socially engaged art and design projects within an international context.
