ARTIST STATEMENT

 Music and visual art are very interconnected in my experience. I actively try to combine these art forms considering both as equally important.
Though much more concrete a type of art than, say, music, representational painting seems to be capable of conveying very abstract ideas and allowing a lot of variation, hence rich and unlimited.


BIOGRAPHY

I'm a 26-year-old New York-based artist and musician, graduate from Russian Gnesiny Academy of music in Moscow, with Master's degree in music. I acquired my background in Belarus and Russia, countries with rich musical history, traditions and well-established education in music and arts. As a musician (accordion, piano) I took part in various competitions and gave concerts performing (as a soloist and participant of an ensemble) on stages of some European countries, Russia, Japan, USA and Canada.
