Hi!
I am a 3D Artist with 3+ years of experience in creative field using Maya: animating shorts, building 3D models, rigging, doing Visual FX, video compositing, designing mobile games.
I am a Fine Artist too, painting oil and acrylic on canvas, sketching, drawing and sculpting.

I art directed mobile game Apple Fun for iPhone at Fruit Byte Studio. Prepare my 3D short for festivals.

Russia is my Mother-Land, where I grew up and got my first Master Degree. I graduated from Volgograd state University in 2003 as Master of Art in Languages, Literature and Journalism. Then I went to Post-Graduate School and became a Ph.D Candidate in Russian Literature of XX Century. I mentored students in Literature and XX Century Culture. In 2006 I moved in California and took a chance to become a Contemporary Artist, who appreciates traditions and innovations. I graduated from Academy of Art University in San Francisco as MFA in 3D Animation and VFX [August 2010]. Love to explore new aspects of art and master my skills. I always keep creating art projects in real and unreal-2D/3D world, or just in my mind when my medium is not available. I am bilingual enthusiast and good humor appreciator. And if the situation calls for it, I can cook!
