Born in 1943 in Alma-Ata, USSR.
My mother, Claudia Osheva, was a professional artist, so from an early age I understood what “magic of creativity” means.
He graduated from the university with a degree in German-Roman philology. But extensive travels, meeting people, and exploring nature provoked me to reflect this using the means of fine art. So, I got a second education at an art college. He began to exhibit while studying at college. This was followed by numerous local, national, all-Union and international exhibitions.
Member of the Union of Artists of the USSR since 1985.
I live and work in the UK since 1998.
