Profile

I consider myself as a highly creative silversmith passionate about making things with the best tool ever - hands. Born in coldest inhabited region in the world (Yakutia, Russia), escaped to the equator later. Grew up in a big family of artisans: wood/bone/ice-carvers, painters, graphics and illustrators, knitters and tailors. Art and handmade have always been my life environment.
