Visual Art – Sydney

I am an adventurer, artist, yogi and lover of all that life has to offer. I have been studying very hard for most of my life but when my dream of becoming a surgeon did not quite work out I decided to take a complete turn from books and endless nights of studying and dedicate my time to travelling, drawing and doing anything that makes me happy. After finishing high school I travelled solo throughout South America and Asia. After almost a year of endless travelling and life on the road I came back home to Sydney. The experience opened my eyes to life on a global scale that I had not been able to comprehend before. Since then I started studying Bachelor of Arts at the University of Sydney majoring in Latin American and Chinese Studies. In addition to university life and travelling I have been taking art classes from the artists Efim Novikov and Yelene Dyumina. I have been lucky enough to exhibit my artworks at various art awards, such as Mosman Youth Art Prize and Waverley Youth Art Prize where I have received the first prize for my graphic drawings.
