Personal
What early memories have shaped the way you see the world today?
Growing up in a monochrome post-Soviet landscape, my world was often quiet and isolated. To escape the long, grey winters, I became captivated by the vivid colors and freedom of my childhood summers by the river. Driven by a need to preserve that brightness, I began experimenting with whatever I could find, drying summer blooms to press into small paintings and melting discarded plastic into figurines. Looking back, that early resourcefulness was a necessary escape from a reality where I felt largely unseen. It sparked a lifelong obsession with how perception can transform an environment, teaching me to use exaggerated color as a way to capture emotional insights and hold onto fleeting moments.
Personal
How does your personal history influence the stories you choose to tell?
My history has made creating art a form of rebellion against harsh realities. Navigating a difficult upbringing, an early escape from home, immigration in search of acceptance, and the war in my home country meant that nothing in my life ever stayed constant. Through this ongoing displacement, I realized the only true consistency in my lifetime is my desire to create and experiment. Art became my safe refuge, a space that can be absolutely anything I want. This instability directly shapes my work, driving me to explore the tension between isolation and presence. Ultimately, my practice is an anchor; it gave me an immense amount of strength and keeps the light inside me on.
