Graduated from Architectural University in the specialty Society Architecture.

In the university during 6 years, I studied architectural design, painting, sculpture, history of arts and also mathematics, physics, acoustics 

and other subjects.

  After graduating from university, I worked on a small film studio during 5 years as a production designer. There I designed

environments for the film sets.

   After working on the film studio, I start to work as an advertising photographer. I took photos of architecture, food and other , but

I loved to make portraits.

  2003 I started to work as a computer artist.

My first environment I’d designed for a feature film “Don’t think about white monkey. ”It was the interior of antic surrealistic castle.

  Since then I’d worked for several animation projects, where I designed environments and later I worked as freelancer as a modeler and 

texture artist. On one of the projects I designed about 40 locations during one year.

  In my work with environments except  artistic part I try to foresee  and  focus on the possible mistakes,  which may result in 

starting all over again and loosing the time. In my workflow  I try to keep connection and use data from other departments as VFX,

Layout (I use cameras for checking environments)  and animation data. This data helps me to use right sizes and distances.

In the architectural university, I studied to solve tasks and problems comprehensively. In addition to artistic I focused on a such tasks as 

technical data (constructions, acoustic, nature conditions. The same holistic approach I try to use in my works with environments.

  I use different tools.

  I tried to use Houdini landscape tools for this but I can’t achieve good result with detailed and interesting surface. The best result  

I’ve achieved with Gaea and World Machine. I created displacement map with them and export displacement   map into zBrush. Then I 

make retopology and cut to UDIMs.  Also I want to try sculpt draft landscape with plasticine and make digitization.

 Hobby – photography, fitness.

 Ready for relocation or working remotely.
