The beauty of digital world we are all consciously or not living in is that everyone there no matter her/his age, nationality, education or social level has an opportunity to express his creative ideas and transfer them instantly to the world. The world with no borders, political conflicts or language barriers, world where everyone speaks and understands the language of art. If in the analog reality we needed months or even years to been seen or heart and thus create a community of fans or “followers” nowadays a single post on a social media platform can change one’s destiny.

Art is when a (creative) person expresses his/her ideas and concepts; therefore, yes, I may call myself an artist.

Thanks to the digital and virtual world any guy from France or a girl from New York can see my art works. The whole world has access to them ; that’s why it’s so important to me.
Yes, the situation is very tense now, and we all hope that it will stop very soon. I am definitely planning to leave Naberezhnye Chelny to move to bigger city of Russia like Moscow. To live abroad would be a great experience which I would not refuse)
Music. It’s always with me when I am creating.
