Kyoto Blossoms Painting

I am a London based professional artist painter, born in Russia in 1972 and I discovered my love for oil painting in 2009 and became a professional artist shortly after attending art college in 2010. In 2015 I joined the Moscow Union of Professional Artists and worked in one of the oldest art schools in Moscow (Moscow Creative and Art Studio), where I conducted Master Classes. I also spent a couple of years in Turkey, where I focused on Art Therapy based Master classes and Plein Air Landscape painting. In 2021 I moved to the UK from where I obtained a certificate in Art Therapy and painted in different locations around London and also continued teaching individuals the techniques of impressionist oil paintings. My paintings are in private collections all over the world, including the UK, USA, Malaysia, Germany, Canada, China, France, Portugal, and Sweden. “I am not in charge of my painting - my painting is in charge of me”.
