I wanted to draw a white Akhal Teke horse in the company of a Saluki. And as it usually happens at the beginning of an art process I was sure that everything would be in line with my original plan.

I wanted to draw a white Akhal Teke horse in the company of a Saluki. And as it usually happens at the beginning of an art process I was sure that everything would be in line with my original plan. But as usual everything has changed in the process a bit.

Another dog came into my picture. I thought OK and continued to draw, thinking that I would get a white Akhal Teke and two Salukis in the result.
But suddenly I realized that a Bull terrier had imperceptibly crept into the picture. People who are familiar with the Bull terriers also know their incredible skill to crept into the bed undetectable and snore sweetly pretending to have always been there. This dog has done the same trick having used this skill. I was sorry to kick him out.

I looked at the second dog and thought that this combination of the Bull terrier and the Saluki is a bit strange but I let it stay.
Suddenly the second dog’s breed also began changing. But unlike the first one, she couldn’t decide for a long time which breed she should choose. She either was becoming a Russian borzoi, or was declaring that it was fashionable to be a Swiss shepherd this season, or was turning into someone completely unknown.
Despite of the dogs sabotage I hoped that the horse is still following to my original idea and is going to be white. But it wasn’t! Here's the fiery red Akhal Teke!

When I realized that all the characters became completely independent, I began create the world around them listening to a lecture about symbolism in the Hayao Miyazaki art at the same time. Suddenly I felt the presence of spirits in my painting. In the beginning, I decided only the dogs were spirits. I thought so because the Bull terrier and the Borzoi existed in my real life and like souls of my deceased animals they were sending me greetings. But then I remembered that I also had the red mare with a star in the forehead. She wasn't an Akhal Teke, but I also felt the hello from my deceased friend via this image.



Somewhere there, in the place where worlds and spaces are intertwined and spirits are dancing ...

For as long I can remember, I have been painting
I'm a hard-working artist who can't imagine life without art. This is my air! My art means everything to me.



I prefer to use my own style in my artworks which is unique. I like to mix different medias and styles. My paintings are completely original and each piece is unique.
I connect moments of reality with fabulous themes. I portray animals as unique images and characters.
Also, Im selling prints on paper and canvas so I would love to be presented at your website to have a chance to sell it


My main subject of work is animals and especially horses , which is prominent in most of the works.

I like to combine reality and decorativeness, lively lines and patterns. I create unique patterns that look like unknown letters. It makes my paintings unique and recognisable. I am painting emotions and feelings, thoughts and memories evoked by the object. This gives me great freedom of expression and allows me to find my uniqueness.

I draw emotions and feelings for animals, their beauty and friendship with them. I really love horses and own horses. I am engaged in the preservation of a unique Russian breed of horses and like to draw precisely these animals, showing beauty, culture and history.
