Spring flowers cut into abstract shapes, forming bulbs of an imagined species—blurring the line between botanical forms and artistic interpretation.

Fragmentation of a fresh bunch of flowers.

A sequence of eight mono prints, crafted using the traditional technique of cardboard printing. Each print showcases a composition of simplified yet familiar shapes.

Through the combination of geometric cut-outs, negative space blossoms into floral shapes. Disk flowers on one side and petals on the other mutually complete each composition.

This artwork was made for a fundraising event for Ukraine, recalling the resilience and beauty of the country's harvesting fields that have been transformed into minefields.

In a Chagall-inspired romantic and dreamlike aesthetic, the artwork depicts the imagined affection of his beloved wife towards oranges, showing her delicately holding the fruit in her palm.

A series of editorial illustrations for ZIMA magazine, a London-based publication addressing the Russian-speaking diaspora across the UK. The visuals reflect the magazine’s engagement with culture, identity, and life abroad.

A trilogy that reflects on the feeling of/at home, on the idea of ​​belonging or not to a place and on metaphorical liminality being the consequence of immigration.

Concerned with memories, places and identity this project pursues the notions of home and displacement in contemporary migration. The three outcomes represent the different stages of experiencing home: the moving image projects a fluctuating memory from childhood, the publication suggests a tangible reality of movements and the series of collages illustrates an imaginative and almost utopian destination. Meditating on the experience of being ‘in-between’ places and cultures, this project raises questions on the fragility of belonging.
