I was born and lived for 27 years in Crimea – the place is well-known for its fine mountains and sea landscapes. Thanks to my grandfather, I became acquainted and fell in love with painting in my early childhood. During the school years, I studied and painted at an Art Studio, and after leaving school, I continued to paint, improved my skills, and engaged in figured woodcarving. In 1990 I immigrated to Israel, and 17 years later, moved to Canada with my wife and two children. Currently, I live and work as an artist in Toronto.more
