Artist & Illustrator ☩ Based Worldwide
Origin
Drawing was never a conscious choice — more like the only way of existing that revealed itself before I had words to describe it. From early childhood to today it has remained a constant: a way to think, to process what I've seen, to hold some kind of inner balance.
Language
My visual language developed slowly and nonlinearly. Engraving and street culture, high fashion and medieval symbolism, tattooing and western esotericism — these were never separate phases, but layers that accumulated and grew into one another. Among the artists who left the deepest mark — Jean-Michel Basquiat, Salvador Dalí, and the Dutch artist Johfra Bosschart with his explorations of esotericism.
Path
I am largely self-taught. A brief period studying Orthodox iconography gave me an understanding of strict form and sacred symbolism — it stayed with me and influenced my work in ways I only noticed later. A turning point came around the age of twenty — an internal shift, after which an interest in mysticism became part of not just the subject matter, but the approach itself. The path moved from Eastern mysticism to Western spirituality — Hermeticism, Gnosticism, Gothic imagery. Not only as a visual style, but as a way of looking at spiritual reality.
Process
My work is always a movement between order and chaos. When things are quiet inside — the lines become sharper and cleaner. When they're not — images expand, grow denser, take on an almost primal energy. Minimalism rarely appears in my practice.
Medium
I work digitally and have a background in frame-by-frame animation. My portfolio includes album covers, collaborations with hip-hop artists, prints and digital art. Ahead — works on physical canvas and an original Tarot deck.
