Ukrainian artist and filmmaker. Born in 1995 in Mariupol, he currently lives and works in Kyiv and Lviv. He works with paint, video, film (16 and 8 mm), and music, which he uses to explore the themes of memory and identity in his works. He is a member of the Freefilmers NGO and the author of the films "Metarobota 25" (2019) and "Haraltida in the Yard" (2023). He was a resident of the De Liceiras 18 artist program (Porto, 2018) and the Stereology program (Mariupol, 2021). His artworks were presented at the exhibitions "People I Could Have Known Better" (Porto), "Are You OK?" at the National Center "Ukrainian House" (Kyiv, 2023), "near/far" at Promocyjna Gallery (Warsaw, 2023), and the fifth Kyiv Biennale (Kyiv, 2023).

At the Center for Urban History, he is holding an artistic residency supported by the Universities UK International. During his stay, he plans to work with the digitized collection of the Mariupol Museum of Local Lore and the film camera of Heorhii Kotelnikov.
