It took me long to realise that art is what I wanted to do on a life-long basis, but once I did I was rather persistent. I quit my job in marketing and in 2006 after a year of preparatory studies entered the Surikov Art Institute - one of the best art schools in Russia. In 2009 my family moved to Montenegro where I continued my studies in the University of Montenegro, Fine Arts Department (graduated in 2012, Specialist's Diploma). Now I live in Bonn, Germany and work as an independent artist.
