This sculpture/statuette I have had since summer, back then I bought it at the flea market and really loved it. It took me months to properly paint and make it glow in the dark and I really loved the way it turned out. Embellished with my patterns of tribal expressionism and ancient petroglyphs. This one is Especially dear to me since it signifies my time spent in Moscow and everything that happened. I have it on my desk at all times and I adore having it next to me. Such a gracious presence. Having said that this is also can be obtained through dm. Let me know what you guys think of this. Stay tuned for more art pieces I’m back and rolling with posting. I go through periods of not wanting to post to bursts of posts. Have a fantastic weekend people!

A spontaneous installation in my studio — a carved tree root surrounded by amulets, paintings, bones, beads, and objects that have found their way into my world.

Probably not for everyone, but these strange combinations genuinely inspire me. Sometimes separate objects suddenly begin speaking to one another and create a world of their own.

All necklaces shown in the video are available for purchase. Send me a DM if one calls to

I’ve made more than 20 pieces of mystic jewelry, now available in my Etsy shop. ( although 15 is posted so far)

Each piece is individually designed and assembled by hand, combining bone beads, wood, metal, painted details, and symbols drawn from ancient, spiritual, and mythological traditions.

Suns, eyes, ravens, serpents, deities, celestial beings and other strange little guardians — every necklace has its own character.

The pendants themselves are sourced, but everything around them is selected, composed, painted, and assembled by hand by me, making every piece one of a kind.

Available now on Etsy. ✨

“Primordial Creation Impulse”
30 × 40 inches

Part of my Prehistoric Artists series.

This painting took almost two years to complete. I began it in December 2024, then left it unfinished for a long time as life took me to Moscow. After returning to the United States, I finally came back to it and completed the journey.

The work exists in three distinct states: regular light, UV light, and glow-in-the-dark, revealing different layers of the same image depending on how it is illuminated.

Some paintings wait until you’re ready to finish them.

Available (not on my website yet).
DM for inquiries.

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Primordial Pulse
9 × 13 inches
Mixed Media on Panel
2024

Primordial Pulse explores the moment before recognizable form emerges—when energy begins to organize itself into life. Layers of textured acrylic, fluorescent pigments, and hand-painted markings create a living surface that transforms under ultraviolet light, revealing a hidden dimension beneath the visible image.

Inspired by prehistoric symbolism, natural patterns, and altered states of perception, the work suggests an ancient rhythm that exists beyond language—a pulse shared by stars, forests, oceans, and every living organism.

Rather than depicting a specific subject, Primordial Pulse invites the viewer to encounter a state of becoming: the first movement of consciousness taking shape.

The Living Network (working title)

30 × 40 inches
Acrylic on canvas
Work in progress.

Some paintings begin with an idea. Others slowly reveal what they want to become.

This piece explores the invisible connections beneath the surface—roots, rivers, mycelium, memory, and the hidden pathways that bind all living things together. I’m letting it grow naturally, layer by layer, without forcing the final destination.

Still a long way to go, but I wanted to share this stage of its evolution.

What does this painting remind you of?

For the past few years, I’ve been creating these ritual-inspired necklaces alongside my paintings. Until now, I mostly made them as gifts for people I genuinely cared about, so only a handful ever existed.

I’ve decided it’s finally time to create a full collection and make them available to everyone.

Each necklace is handcrafted using ethically sourced Indian water buffalo bone, natural wood, horn, and carefully selected beads. The bone pieces are adorned with prehistoric-inspired symbols, making every necklace feel like a small artifact rather than just jewelry.

They carry a presence of their own. To me, these are powerful necklaces—not simply accessories, but objects that invite a deeper connection with the natural world and our ancient past.

I’m now officially accepting custom orders. If one of these speaks to you—or if you’d like me to create one especially for you—send me a DM.

CORE
9 × 13 inches
Mixed media on wood panel, created in Brooklyn in 2024.

Built with dimensional acrylic and layered tribal markings, this small metaphysical landscape took four days to complete. The surface feels almost alive—dense with forms, symbols, movement, and hidden figures emerging from the chaos.

Available for purchase. DM me for details.

“Flower of Life”
20.5 × 24 in
Acrylic on canvas

I began this painting around the time I left for Moscow. A year later, after returning home, I finally completed it, adding layer upon layer until it became what I had envisioned.

Most people will never notice how much work went into those final layers—and that’s perfectly fine. Some details are meant to be discovered slowly, over time.

I’m happy to say that this piece is now complete and available for acquisition not on my website yet, but you can dm me for it. 

This is one of my Breathing Paintings—three artworks existing within a single object.

• In daylight, metallic accents gradually emerge as the light changes.
• Under UV light, an entirely different painting reveals itself.
• In complete darkness, the glow transforms it once again into a third visual experience.

I’m genuinely proud of this work. My paintings are meant to be experienced in person. Photos and videos can only capture a fraction of what the object actually is.

I’d love to hear what you see and what you feel when looking at it. Let me know in the comments.
