My practice explores multi-being — the layered existence of the self in dialogue with space and society. 

I first experienced this interest in childhood, in the Russian village where I lived with my grandmother. There, people kept traditions, cared for animals, and believed in the mystical. This experience of close connection with nature and local people became a tool of self-discovery.

There was something primal in village life, which later found expression in my graffiti practice. For ten years, I painted on rooftops, trains, and buildings. Through this, street art shaped my visual language — intense tones, textured depth, elemental forms.

The images of water lilies and a hybrid of Narcissus with a butterfly play a central role in my work; they symbolize the weight of the past and the pressure of social norms I have experienced. In combination with portraits, these motifs form a visual memory system that reveals themes of personal identity and our perception of space. Through this process, a visual language develops, intertwining figurative and abstract forms. Painting, sculpture, and collage serve as the mediums through which I realize these concepts.

In this way, I give voice to my many selves. Nothing is static: each version of the self, of every object and image, is a window into new meanings and unpredictable connections with the world.
