I am currently open to custom orders and would love to create a painting just for you. Send me a message with your ideas, and we'll see what can be done. More than a half of my sales on Etsy are custom orders rather than public listings — the next one may be yours!

All my paintings are sent in protective packaging (rolled in a tube or in a flat packaging depending on the size).

I send all orders by registered priority mail with a tracking number, anywhere in the world. If you need your order to be delivered quickly, you can select DHL courier delivery at the checkout (this is a subject to extra fee).

All my paintings are originals (unless otherwise stated). I am working in traditional Oriental techniques sumi-e and guo hua, using natural Japanese ink and mineral pigments on handmade rice paper.

Please note: as I cut the paper by hand, there may be difference in listed size and actual size by up to 1 cm or ½ inch. Please do not arrange any frames before receiving your order.

All my painting are mounted (stretched on another layer of rice paper for durability), have my signature and/or imprints of my personal seals, which is a traditional form of specifying the author in Japanese and Chinese painting. I also include a Certificate of Authenticity for every painting.

I don't ship my artworks in frames for a few reasons:

1. Frames are as individual as interiors and tastes.
2. Frames and framing services are no cheaper in my country than anywhere else.
3. The cost of shipping and packaging of framed artworks would be prohibitively high.
4. Frames may easily get damaged in transit and damage the artwork.

That's why sending my works framed is not practical. Using a local service will be overall less expensive and more secure.

Framing of my works is no different than framing of other paper products: although rice paper is very thin and delicate, all my paintings are stretched over a second layer of rice paper which makes them as durable as regular paper, so the process of framing is exactly the same.

I am an artist born in Minsk, raised in Siberia, lived in Moscow, studied in China, traveled a lot, and now settled in Budapest, Hungary. I am passionate about Oriental painting which gives me infinite inspiration every day. I am a member of International Chinese Calligraphy and Ink Painting Society (North American Branch) and have received several awards at international exhibitions. I am also an author of several books available on Amazon.com
