I was born in Murom, Russia and studied art and graphics at the Vladimir pedagogical institute, graduating in 1977. I have participated in exhibitions since 1974, showing my works - which range from dark art to abstract paintings created using oil techniques - in galleries across Russia, Australia, the United States, and have many pieces in private collections around the world. Since 1993, I have lived and worked in Qiryat Gat, Israel, where I continue to create art and also teach computer graphics and design in my private studio.
