I was born in the cold Siberian city called Omsk. Since childhood, I loved to draw, so my mother sent me to the art school. No one could have imagined that painting pictures would become my job. A high-paying job.

At the age of 19, in 2015, I moved to St. Petersburg and graduated from the university with a degree in Ecology. After the courses, I ran home to fulfill my portraits orders for made with pencil for 500 rubles, so that there would be at least a little income. At the same time, the "Brand" Lizplease appeared (Lisa, please draw). Without much inflated expectations, I continued to paint portraits because I couldn’t live without it. In parallel, learning oil painting on all possible free resources.

I painted pictures from morning till night, every day. 8-10 hours each. I know what real work is.

I have been working hard for three years, searching for my style and a way to express myself. Literally shouted "notice me, see what I can do!".

I was not faced with the question of choosing a future job, even though my parents insisted on the opposite. Subsequently, for another three years I will listen to the reproaches of "find a normal job".

In the summer of 2021, the artist Oleg Lukyanov noticed me and together with his urban fresco project, we applied my 5-meter painting to the facade of a building in the center of St. Petersburg (Vvedenskaya 8).

I gathered around me more than 17 thousand like-minded people, declaring myself with the help of the author’s style

What am I and my paintings about?

Siberian cold nature is one of my most important inspirations. Basically, my paintings capture the urban landscape and nature of the Leningrad region.

A new period in my work began with travel in 2020. India, Turkey and Africa have become my new
source of inspiration and made me think about climate change. And the education of an Ecologist helped me to reveal the problem more precisely. I found what I had been looking for for a long time — my unique style in abstract paintings, where I started using mixed techniques: acrylic, oil, oil pastels and appliques.

My works cover the problems of global warming related to human activity. Increased heat, drought, sea level rise, adverse effects on animals and other consequences of global warming are depicted in my abstract painting.
