I live in Ukraine, in the city of Dnipro. I’ve been creating scrap art for seven years. For the past four years, my robots have been featured in the international scrap art calendar alongside the best masters in the world. I was honored to receive the Order of Cultural Diplomacy.

I have a wonderful family, and I truly love what I do. Each piece I make holds not only my skills and character, but also a part of my soul.

I grew up in an ordinary family. My parents worked at a factory and raised three children—my older brother, me, and my younger sister. We spent our childhood fishing, hunting with our father, and keeping bees. I was good at drawing since I was a kid, and that helps me a lot now in my work. My father taught me to love working with my hands. He would explain things, then let me figure it out on my own in the workshop.

I studied at a technical school and later at a university. Today, I work as a builder.
