How did you become an artist?
I have loved drawing since childhood. In kindergarten, I was approached with requests to draw. Then I entered art school and continued to draw until high school. Once there, I had to prepare for exams and think about my future profession.
Around age 14 or 15, I was already working part-time doing portraits. I was the youngest artist in my small town who was taking commissions for portraits. But the very first painting I sold was to my parents’ friends. It was a Venetian landscape painted in oils. I had a lot of free time as a child, so I painted every day and independently studied the most interesting part for me — drawing people.
I had a long break, about three to four years, because I chose another profession by mistake. I was told that artists live in poverty and nothing good awaits them. And I broke down. During my first year at the university, where I was studying to be a chemist-technologist, I realized my mistake and returned to drawing again.
I drew on canvases and painted on clothes. I managed to take part in an exhibition in the city of Krasnodar twice, and in time my paintings sold again. A year later, I gave up again. I thought my work was terrible and I couldn’t do anything myself. I stopped drawing. I tried to find myself in something else, and I dropped out of the university. After another two years, I came back with a new outlook and ideas. I worked a lot with a psychologist, and now I am again confident in what I am doing
What draws you to creating erotic images?
I see in this a certain power of feelings and emotions, natural aesthetics that many people are shy about.
Where does your inspiration come from?
I get my inspiration from people and observations of this world. I am a visual person. Anything that seems beautiful inspires me. But as strange as it sounds, I am often inspired by myself. I just feel this world differently. It’s the same with sex. For some, sex is just sport and lust. For me, it’s something more. It’s a fascinating, beautiful game of emotions and pleasures.
What mediums do you use most often?
I am currently painting in digital. But I like to paint with watercolors, acrylics and oils.
What’s the process for creating your erotic pieces?
Usually I have an idea in my head, and I look for suitable references, which I sketch and rework to fit my idea. Or I see an inspiring photo, which I re-create as I see fit.
Who would you say are your biggest artistic influences?
I try not to be someone’s fan. I take a little bit of inspiration from any artist I encounter. I try to take something useful from everyone.
What’s your experience like as an erotic artist using Instagram?
Not the best. Now I’m trying to do more self-censorship of my posts because Instagram has blocked my most explicit and hottest pictures.
Do you ever struggle with censorship?
I realized it was useless, and I try not to take risks now, because I heard many stories of how Instagram deletes accounts like mine after a while.
What do you personally find erotic or sexy?
The sexiest thing is to be natural. To experience real feelings and emotions.
Tell us something interesting about you or something that we might not expect.
Sometimes I paint myself when I cannot find suitable references. And I have done it very often. I also study porn, looking for beautiful compositions.
Artists in Russia must be having a pretty tough time of it these days, so if you find yourself wishing to connect, you can try Instagram, Twitter, or even OpenSea. Positive vibes help everyone.
