Author's art project "CODE OF THE NATION"
The Nation Code is a search for roots, a dive into the past for many generations to trace the foundation of national culture, those facets of primary information that transforms with each subsequent generation, but which is the basis of self-identification.
Each individual region has its own unique culture, clothing, and way of life, but at the same time there is something in common that personifies the nation. This self-identification occurs at the genetic level, and in moments of crisis manifests itself in the form of strong bonds between people at all times.

Author's art project "Surface"
"Surface" is a project of artistic ceramic panels that explores natural landscape compositions. As a basis for the composition, the author uses satellite images of the Earth, Mars and other planets. Using the zoom tool, the desired composition is searched for and then transferred to prepared clay layers, after which the composition is translated into volume by a set of forms and textures in the author's technique.
