PHOTOSHOP

I'm a Russian-born, Spanish-raised audio-visual artist. I work at everything from traditional art to being behind the camera, to editing, to promoting. I started drawing as soon as I can remember. My passion for painting started at primary school.
I began editing videos at 12 when I began making videos with The Sims 2 videogame, at 13 I started drawing manga style drawing with my first tablet. At 14 I found out about Photoshop and started to experiment with that. At 15 I passed my Art and Design IGCES with an A*. At 16 I started my 2 year bachelor in Fine Arts in Spain.
​
In those 2 years I learned about traditional and digital art, design, audiovisual art, cameras, recording, logo-making and everything design-related.

MY INSPIRATION
My main inspiration is music. Chopin is my favourite classical romantic music composer. From modern music, Radiohead and Muse have influenced my art since I was 12. BMTH and Asking Alexandria helped me through my dark times. Eminem with his violent and vindictive music helps me express my inner deamons through my art.
My other inspiration is psychology and mental illness. I have been always interested in psychology and myself having had depression and anxiety, being diagnosed with BPD and currently being in treatment, art inspires me and serves me as a way to unwind. It's self-therapy and it helps other people see what's going on inside other people's minds. In my opinion sick minds make interesting art.
