BIO

  • I studied visual communication at the University of Contemporary Art in Moscow, and continued my education in Germany and the UK. In 2005, I took part in workshops at Central Saint Martins in London, where I explored illustration, experimental photography, and editorial design. A year later, I completed a design residency at Fachhochschule Dortmund, focusing on conceptual approaches to graphic design. In 2009, I received my degree in graphic design in Moscow.

  • My work moves between photography, memory, and narrative. My first solo exhibition — Accidental Encounters (Vincent Gallery, Moscow, 2008) — was a visual essay on fleeting human connections. That same year, I participated in the Moscow International Biennale for Young Art with an installation called Vivisection of Illusions. In 2011, I presented a photographic series inspired by the poetry of Stéphane Mallarmé.

  • From 2010 to 2011, I worked as a set designer and visual artist for the musical Ordinary Miracle. Today, I focus on creating educational programs for children and teenagers — where contemporary art meets storytelling, improvisation, and play.

  • In my studio practice, I also work on book illustration, experimental drawing, and catalogue design. I collaborate with galleries such as ART MOST (London), Vincent (Moscow), and SHCHUKIN Gallery.

  • “In my graphic work, I try to capture the subtle currents of memory — those fragile links between objects, gestures, and stories. It’s my way of tracing how a simple thought can lead you far beyond where you started.”

This is my grandfather. If you didn’t know better, you could easily mistake me for my mom in his arms.
This is my mom. The older I get, the more I realize how much we have in common.
This is my great-grandmother. She was the first female parachutist in the Republic of Dagestan, in the Soviet Union.
That’s my grandmother on the right. This is how I’ll always remember her.
And this is me — in the most natural habitat I could imagine for myself.
