Origin

Rotterdam · Netherlands

Hyperrealist oil painting is not reproduction. It is extended looking — finding in a living subject what a photograph cannot hold: the weight behind the eye, the intelligence in muscle and fur.

"I don't paint animals. I paint the moment an animal decides whether or not to include you."

Based in Rotterdam
Origin Moscow, 1984
Medium Oil on linen
Working since 2016

No. 04 — Art for Spaces

A work
in your space

Not decoration.
A permanent
presence.

Hyperrealist oil paintings change the atmosphere of a room the way another person changes it. The works are available for private collectors, hotels, and corporate spaces — anywhere a conversation is worth having.

01

Initial conversation

You describe your space — dimensions, light, existing palette. We discuss which work or direction feels right.

02

Proposal & placement

A proposal with one or two works in context. Framing options, installation notes, lighting suggestions.

03

Acquisition

Purchase or commission. Existing works ship from Rotterdam; commissions take 3–8 months depending on scale.

Available for private collectors, hospitality, and corporate spaces across Europe.
