About the artist

I am a multidisciplinary creative professional with a background in interior design and architectural visualization. Born in the former USSR and based in Israel since 1996, I graduated with a degree in Interior Design and have worked in the architecture and design industry ever since.

Alongside my professional career, I have always been deeply passionate about visual art. What began as traditional painting on canvas and paper naturally evolved into digital expression, where I found new freedom and depth. Today, digital illustration is both my creative outlet and personal passion.

As an openly gay artist, the male form holds a central place in my work — serving as a source of inspiration and a canvas for exploring themes of love, beauty, vulnerability, and strength. My style blends classical aesthetics with contemporary sensibilities, filtered through a personal lens shaped by emotion, experience, and identity. All of my artworks are created on an iPad Pro using Apple Pencil and Procreate, crafted with intention and heart.

My work has been featured in multiple exhibitions in Israel, including:

  • "Be in Israel – Fair Fair" on March 9, 2019
  • "Anonymous Art & Music" at Barbie Club on March 22, 2019
  • Five exhibitions with PAN Art Gallery over the past year

Through my art, I strive to evoke feeling, provoke thought, and offer moments of connection.
