About

I am illustrator with strong drawing skills and and proficiency in a wide range of materials. Graduated from the Moscow Academic Art College, diploma with honors. Work as remote illustrator and designer. I draw in different styles, both realistic and decorative. My main inspiration is traditional cultures of Asia, Africa and Australia. Thanks to my imagination I travel with a pencil in my hand, even when I can't travel.
