Bringing Binom to Life: The Challenges of Self-Publishing
My recent self-publishing residency in Tokyo marked a powerful new chapter for my photobook Binom, transforming years of work into a tangible, intimate book format. It was an inspiring and emotional process. Here, I’d like to share some of the challenges I faced along the way.

Workshops in April and May 2025
I’m excited to offer both online and in-person workshops in April and May. If you’re curious about my concrete sculpture techniques or want to explore creating portraits from torn paper fragments, take a look at the schedule and join in — I’d love to create together.

Artist reads
The books you read can tell much about you, especially those you want to share. Here, I will tell you about four books I read this summer. They all are connected with my art practice and also help me better understand my internal processes and external reality.
My first Open Studio in the Bay Area
I was excited and anxious at the same time. I agreed with myself that, first, I would do my best to arrange the garage as the best version of my studio, and, second, I would have no expectations and pass-through this experience. If you want to know how it was, read the post with my implications and emotions.

The story of the sculpture from the idea to the final execution. The answer to this question is painful and challenging for me. However, I’m sure that it’s crucially important to understand how you are, what are your principles and beliefs, no matter how much pain it causes.

Let me introduce myself
Hi! Thank you for coming to my site. Let me tell about myself. I’m a multidisciplinary artist based in Santa Clara, California. I was born in the capital of the USSR, I grew up in Russia, and I left Moscow in March 2022. I suppose you have two questions: What kind of art do I create? and How did I come to California? I will answer both of them in this introductory post.
