A specimen of globalisation, I was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan, then moved to St. Louis, US, back to Almaty, and then to London, UK. As a result, my mentality presents an eclectic concoction: 'a bit of everything' as an acquaintance once stated. Welcome to the land of globalized street chic! Russian being my mother tongue, I am fluent in English and have attained an advanced knowledge of French. Personal qualities include self-discipline, curiosity and audacity. Throughout my life, I have dithered between the visual arts and writing as future, career paths. I am interested in all aspects of visual arts including painting, animation and film.
