Biography


I was born in 1998 in Helsinki into a family where my father is a Finnish journalist and my mother is a Russian doctor. The family lived between two countries until 2002 when St. Petersburg was chosen for permanent residence. From 2005, I attended School No. 204 in the heart of the city, passing by the Hermitage every day on my way home. In 2009, I entered the B.M. Kustodiev Children's Art School, and in 2013, I began an in-depth study of sculpture at the B.V. Johanson Art Lyceum, where I started to shape both my personality and artistic skills.


Simultaneously, I received education at A.P. Petrov Children's Music School No. 2, playing the cello from 2005 to 2014, and later, until 2017, mastering the double bass.


From 2017 to 2023, I studied at the Repin Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, specializing in figurative sculpture under the guidance of B.A. Petrov. I completed the medal workshop under the supervision of A.V. Baklanov.


In October 2022, I began building my professional life in Helsinki.
