Weird and otherworldly shapes have always fascinated me. I’m drawn to what is often overlooked: deteriorating metal, cracked glass, and weathered wood. Materials that carry a story in their textures, their colours, their contrast. There’s a kind of silent poetry in decay and transformation that resonates with me far more than perfection ever could.

I was born in 1987 in Pawlohrad, Ukraine, and we eventually moved back to Germany, where I grew up in a small village in Saxony, surrounded by forests, silence and the rhythm of nature. This environment shaped my view of the world as one full of hidden details, magical moments and fleeting beauty that’s easy to miss unless you know how to look for it.

My passion: mythological and fantastical books, films and games. And so I studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden, training as an SFX make-up designer. Since 2017, I have worked as a freelance artist, exploring different media such as photography, illustration, painting and digital design. My camera is often my main tool. I especially love macro photography, where small things transform into entire landscapes. From above, the textures of stone or wood can resemble abstract paintings. The closer I look, the more the ordinary becomes strange, poetic or even spiritual.


My work is based on contrasts: light and darkness, fragility and resilience, the natural and the man-made. I often look for places and materials that blur these boundaries. Whether it’s a wall bathed in sunlight, a piece of burnt wood or tar melting into silver veins. Capturing these brief, fleeting moments in which time, light and substance are in harmony fulfils me. I would therefore like to invite you into my small world of the inconspicuous and the extraordinary.
