background
I am a Russian-Latvian who moved to the UK in 2005, where I studied Fine Art at the University of Oxford and Social Anthropology at The London School of Economics and the School of Oriental and African Studies. I lived in various cities around the world, including Seoul, Paris, Vienna, exploring cultural nuances as well as innately human traits. My most recent project explores human trafficking and modern day slavery - I’ve had two shows in London presenting my work, which consists of portraits of human trafficking survivors from Mexico, displayed alongside their stories that they shared with me. Additionally for the show I made a few more artworks, focusing generally on human trafficking and the invisible people in society, called Gaps In Humanity (see attached), and this specifically I’d like to explore further. I’ve also run Crossmodalism - mainly London-based society focusing on cross-disciplinary approaches and projects.
Currently based in Berlin.
