I have an enthusiasm for paleontology and dinosaurs.
I was born in Prokopievsk, Kemerovskaya region, Southwestern Siberia, Russia on September 10th, 1980.
In a childhood I dreamed of books about dinosaurs with excellent illustrations and information. I was disappointed at what I found because most illustrations in the books I read were not good from an anatomical sense. So I started to create and paint my own

accurate illustrations. I learned art in school but have further developed style and technique on my own.
I use as a basis for my works, scientific publications and use gouache paint, black ink and sometimes oil paint. I not only paint dinosaurs on white background (type of science illustration) but also show them in their natural environment. I have experience in the drawing fossil bones such as skulls and other fossil specimens like Trilobites in ink.

Many other things interest me such as entomology. I paint images of coleoptera from my collections.
Another favorite hobby is painting space scenes, spaceships and fantastic landscapes.
I want to illustrate books, encyclopedias and science publications on paleontology and dinosaurs. Currently I am a first year student of byological faculty, Kemerovo State University with the goal of becoming a paleontologist.
