I was born in South Kazakhstan where I absorbed elements of different cultures and acquired poetic vision. I graduated from State College of Art in mem. 1905 in Moscow and Animation School "SHAR". I started to work as a director and scriptwriter on the animation films, but at the same time work on my paintings for exhibitions and made illustration for the books. I moved to Estonia in 2016 and live here until now.
In 2019 I entered to the Baltic Film and Media school and graduated with my first short film “Shtander, shtander, Katya!” .
Generally I work as film director of animation films, illustration artist, make paintings and graphics. Time to time conducting workshops as well as courses for children and professional artists.
