Born in Russia, I am of Bulgarian and Congolese origin. Self-taught artist, I started drawing quite early as a child. It is almost a reflex: I draw everything around me without a pencil, just with my eyes. The contours, the lines, the curves... I add color to it, in my head. Artistically, I can't really place myself, I don't have a current or particularly inspiration. I paint what moves me, what expresses for me an important aspect of human nature or the world. My creations are quite contrasted and my practice can be a little singular. I tend to paint "upside down" : rather than bringing shadows to create volumes, I bring light and you will find these discreet halos everywhere in my works.
