My Story

My Story

Art has been a constant presence in my life from my earliest memories. I’ve always been drawn to creative activities like drawing, painting, performing, playing music, sewing, and making things.

Studying art in college made me realize I didn’t want to be the kind of artist who creates for personal enjoyment in the studio. Instead, I wanted to take my art out into the world and share it with the public on the streets. That’s when I decided to become a muralist.

Completing my first public art projects and wall murals brought me an incredible sense of fulfillment, and the positive feedback from the community confirmed I was on the right path.

What truly inspires me is creating art for homes and public spaces. Seeing how my work can transform people’s attitudes, foster community pride, and make them fall in love with their surroundings again is what drives me.

Main Dates and Facts:

My story starts in Baranovichi, a small town in Belarus, where I was born and raised. I began my artistic journey at the local art school, and at 16, I moved to Minsk to study classical painting and art education at an art college.

I began my career as a muralist in 2002, working on various mural and decorative projects in Moscow, Russia. In 2005, I moved to Saint Petersburg, where I earned a degree in Monumental Public Art from the Saint Petersburg Art Academy.

From 2007 onward, I collaborated with a community of artists, working together on both private and public projects to achieve our creative goals. In 2008, I completed my first outdoor mural in St. Petersburg.

In 2012, I relocated to Oakland, California, and in 2014, I created my first outdoor mural in the United States.

I moved to Colorado in 2015 and, in 2022, my family and I settled in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., in Maryland.

Today, I continue to work on art projects and create murals in cities worldwide, driven by the belief that as long as there are empty walls, my mission is far from over.
