Welcome

I'm really glad you've come to my place and you want to find out a little bit about me.

I was born and raised in Russia, I spent six years of my life teaching French at University. I left teaching eight years ago and followed my computer interests to a new field. I now live in Toronto where I design and web sites for a company. The digital painting is my hobby that plays a huge role in my life.

I use Corel Painter, Adobe Photoshop and a Wacom tablet in my work and up to the last year I was considered myself mostly self-taught in the arts. Now I study at the Academy of Realist Art. That's how serious I am about my hobby ;)

Since very young, I have loved fairy tales and legends. They're the source ofmy inspiration now. I do lots of research of subject matter before starting to sketch. When I'm researching a story I have to make sure that the environment is authentic. I hope that much of my work has a distinct originality and unique feel. I post my artwork in various online galleries, such as Epilogue, Renderosity and Digital Art.

Thanks for visiting me here. If you got through all of this then I hope you have enjoyed meeting me. Come back again!
