Born in 1961 in Nikolaev, Ukraine; since 1998 lives in Moscow, Russia.
Graduated 1986 from the N.S.Samokisha High Art School (Simferopol, Crimea), from department for painting.
The artist is interested in the problem of searching for the sense of painting heritage, the analysis of picturesque expression. The basis of his works, apart from the objects and figures, are also the color, shadows and airy environment, which they create.
