I am a Russian-born, Toronto-based artist. My family has instilled a love for travel, education, and the natural world in me, while paints and crafts have always been my passion. To this day, Create, Explore, Love are the key values behind my work.
I first moved all by myself when I was 17, from the other side of the world to the evergreen Vancouver, BC, to study civil engineering. Following various ventures and discoveries along the way, I eventually fulfilled my childhood dream of becoming a professional artist. My art blends together vibrant hues, expressive brushstrokes, and subtle symbolism with a contemporary feel. It has been featured by the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles, Infected by Art, Beautiful Bizarre Art Magazine, and others. Since 2020, I have been a part of various Toronto mural initiatives: StreetARToronto, Bell Box Murals, KJ Bit Mural Jam.
I am passionate about street art because it combines three of my favourite things: painting (big!), traveling, and meeting people from different backgrounds. Nothing connects you to the fabric of society quite like public art does. From my construction and project management expertise, I bring in a unique skillset, knowledge of working safely in industrial sites and communicating effectively with large groups of stakeholders, successfully planning and executing projects of varying scopes and timelines. Working at Heights and Scissor Lift Operation certificates are available.
