Who am I and what do I create?
I am an illustrator and multidisciplinary artist trained in Illustration and Comics at the HSE Art and Design School. I move between imagery and materials to discover the form each idea requires.
Exploring Ideas Through Different Materials and Visual Languages.
POSITIONING
The medium follows the idea.
Some projects require a layered image, while others demand a tactile object or a clear graphic narrative. I enjoy fluidly shifting between these approaches without losing sight of the brief.
Diverse Disciplines. A Shared Curiosity.
The projects below demonstrate my approach to visual complexity, storytelling, material research, and collaboration.I CAN SEE YOU
One composition, many overlapping worlds.
I CAN SEA YOU (2024) began as an exercise in building a dense digital image. I explored how color, scale, and transparent layers could connect many elements into one visual rhythm.
PROCESS
Complexity needs structure.
I developed the concept and initial sketches, then arranged the objects on movable digital layers. Adjusting the overlap and balance allowed me to keep the image rich while maintaining its composition.
RESULT
One visual world, different formats.I tested the composition as printed imagery and a sticker set. It demonstrates how a detailed illustration can be reorganized for new applications.sticker pack
THE TRAIL
A small traveler redefines the scale of everything.
The Trail traces a curious beetle through a library before its visitors arrive. I transformed everyday architecture into a quiet journey exploring framing, perspective, and light.
DEVELOPMENT
First the route, then the atmosphere.
I tested unusual viewpoints in small sketches before developing the final illustrations. A limited palette and textured surfaces tie the scenes together.
SERIES
The story lives between the images.
Each scene is a still moment interrupted by the traveling beetle. The sequence demonstrates my approach to atmosphere and storytelling without dialogue.
LOOK AT ME
What lies beneath the surface?
Look at Me explores the pressure to hide individuality behind accepted tastes and appearances. I used discarded fabrics and contrasting textures to make that tension visible.
MATERIAL
The materials speak for themselves.I assembled clothing scraps, burlap, embroidery, and translucent fabrics, studying how they interact. The uneven layers suggest both concealment and self-expression.
EXHIBITION
The setting became part of the work.
When the exhibition space changed, I adapted the installation rather than the core idea. The piece was shown at Tochka, Zapyataya, an outdoor exhibition in a forest near Moscow.
