Performer, 2024

In my painting, I would like to tell a story about human curiosity. People often imagine things that do not actually exist. You never know what is hidden in a person’s soul. People wear masks, and it is impossible to guess what is hidden inside. He was an acrobatic performer who executed incredible tricks. I met him in Europe many years ago; no one expected such a gentleman to turn into a professional circus performer.

I am an Australian contemporary realist artist, specialising in still life and portraiture. My work is inspired by the beauty of Australian nature, focusing on tone, shape, and contrast. I often use objects from my local surroundings in my compositions.

After graduating with a Fine Art diploma from the A.G. Venetsianov Art College in 2005, I furthered my education at the Moscow State Academy of Art in 2013.

Today, my pieces find homes across Australia and the globe, adorning walls from Canada and the USA to Europe. I take pride in creating commissioned works that grace private collections, adding a personal touch to cherished spaces.
