I was born in a small village in the Donetsk region, Ukraine. Grey and dusty. When I was little I loved to watch Argentinean soap operas and dreamt of escaping to a similar place where the sea, palm trees and many bright colours are… that place where I would finally could try an orange juice (never tried it before). When I turned 18 I ran away to Cyprus for 3 years and then to the Greek island of Rhodes where I accidentally met a man who showed me the collage technique and bought me my first sketchbook and pair of scissors. Unfortunately, I do not remember his name and the attempts to find him were unsuccessful. But, during that period of my life, only collages were able to pull me out of the darkness that I had drove myself into. It was 13 years ago. Then I moved to Tenerife, to Kaliningrad and to Crimea where I started making street art. I consider myself a modern gypsy ))) Now I live in Barcelona where I continue to do my street art and performances.
