Since an early age I have always yearned to be an artist I had trained as a graphic designer and spent many years working as a digital artist, animator and programmer in the games and 3D world, but it wasn’t until 2023 that I had an opportunity to follow my true calling.

This coincided with meeting Natalia Avdeeva (ROI) at an ROI event. Since then we have worked together to bring my dreams to reality, and this website is a testament to the work we have been doing together.

I specifically choose to paint en-plein-air landscapes. Why?

It fascinates me how complex and interactive the process can be yet it is very simple - working with nature and from nature.

All my life I sought an adrenalin rush by flying airplanes, paragliding, competitive shooting, and freestyle snowboarding, but little beats the rush when you succeed in capturing the beauty and majesty of the world around us.

I often think of the thousands of lives, adventures, families, activities, day to day routines, wildlife, towns, cities etc... that I get to describe with a single stroke of my brush, that single moment in time and what everyone theoretically in the picture was doing in that moment frozen upon my canvas. However, vary that stroke by just a small amount and the story changes or is lost and not told at all.

I love painting en-plein-air it is my favorite discipline. It involves painting the scene live. Often hiking up the mountain or across the city with your gear, in all weathers and against all the elements in search of an inspiring view. This can mean painting the sunrise, the sunset, or even the moonlight.

However, the greatest thrill of all is the people you meet while painting, as they experience your art alongside you. This interaction creates a real story to what I paint.

By visiting my site, you become a part of that same experience and I am equally moved if you are taken to acquire one of my works.

Should you have any questions feel free to get in touch. I would love to hear from you.
