ABOUT
the ARTIST
I believe in the artistic traditions of the Old Masters AND in the conceptual thinking of our Contemporaries.
ABOUT THE Artist
You could call me an interdisciplinary artist, as I work in different media such as drawing, photography, painting, threads, pearls, AI and other media. I have remained true to the theme of my visual research for three decades: Identity, Image and Reputation.
ABOUT
THE ARTIST
I am a second generation artist. I believe in the artistic traditions of the Old Masters AND in the conceptual thinking of our contemporaries.
Three European cultures have shaped my world view and art perception: The best traditional academic practice from Russia, contemporary conceptual thinking from Germany and appreciation of traditions as well as entrepreneurship from the United Kingdom.
Born into a family of artists and art entrepreneurs, I started early with portrait commissions. After my first solo exhibition at the Deutsche Bank at the age of 21 I knew I found my calling as a portrait artist.
My current art studio is in Cologne (Germany), the geographical heart of Europe. I am grateful for collectors from Europe and beyond.

I never share any details of a commissioned portrait, including its existence, without your consent.
Online and offline confidentiality.
Privacy
The artworks are not only a legacy bridging generations. They are a portrait of human history.
LEGACY
Beauty is a powerful force that is not in the eye of the beholder only. Harmony and aesthetics are the very reason my studio exist.
AESTHETICS
my VALUES
Having a limited number of commissions per year allows me to invest more time into creating Masterpieces.

MY CLAN
We have a lot in common, you and I.
We flourish with more responsibility.
We take the lead in shaping the future we hope for our children. Our history is an important part of this journey. Rooted in the past, we seek true value and deeper meaning for our human family and for generations to come. We understand confidentiality and privacy just as well as raising public awareness.
And we call our entire planet HOME.
My collectors design the future
and CARE ABOUT THE PAST.
They are the curious ones.
THIS IS MY "WHY"
Impact
I believe the power of humanity lies in the ability of each person to make a meaningful impact on their surroundings. Through my portraiture work, I strive to inspire individuals to aspire towards their best selves, thereby contributing to a brighter future for all.
Beauty
I believe that BEAUTY is a highly undervalued aspect of contemporary art. It is my mission to elevate the importance of beauty in artistic expression, and to showcase its transformative potential.
Future
I recognise that the key to innovation and progress is a deep understanding of the past. A dynamic and impactful future (including NFTs, AI art, and so on) is only possible with appreciation of what has been achieved over the past thousands of years.
