I am a 3D and visual artist born and raised in Ulan-Ude, Republic of Buryatia, Russia.

I work in animation, draw, paint, and write, and I am interested in exploring adjacent fields such as installation and immersive media.

Alongside my artistic practice, I have a strong interest in history and anthropology. I study the mystical traditions of Islam, as well as the history of Siberia and its peoples across the past, present, and future.
