Handicraft stained glass
I am always inspired by the natural shapes that are around us. With every new piece I make, I become more inspired to continue.
I work in a technique invented by Luis Camfort Tiffany at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, which is the connection of small fragments of glass by soldering.
This makes it possible to create exquisite and elegant ornaments.
Following traditions I nevertheless enjoy working with new non-standard forms and use innovative techniques.

I graduated Kyiv Slavic University as an art manager I worked for many years in the field of music and exhibition business.
Once during a meditation I saw a very beautiful ornament made in stained glass techniques. This is how my glasswork journey began.
My workshop today is a room in an ancient Caravanserai near the Galat Tower on the banks of the Bosphorus. This is a unique place with a special atmosphere. You are welcome to visit it if you are in Istanbul.
I take part in international art shows and exhibitions.
If you are interested in a specific work on the site or you want to order something exclusive, please contact me through any convenient way
