ABOUT ME
AN ARTIST FOR HALF A CENTURY.
Naive, primitive, beautiful, bright, unusual - all these allegories are our life, the world around us and inside us.
These paintings invite everyone to meet themselves, to look "in the mirror", to reflect. And perhaps take a day off and paint.
Collector of retro cars. Owns the biggest collection of Soviet cars in the world.
Active member of the Russian Automobile Federation and the Rally Club of Classic Cars. He organizes the biggest events, festivals and exhibitions of the retro car movement.
Well-known entrepreneur and public figure.
