11 January 2018
Dear friends, next Saturday is the opening of our duo exhibition together with the photographer Tim Theo Deceuninck will take place at Concertbuilding of Bruges. During the opening I’m going to present my photo project about the ruins of the Teutonic Order that I have photographed in Kaliningrad over the several years. These ruins are pretty unknown phenomenon here in Europe although it is a large part of European history lost in Russia. Interested? Then I invite you to the vernissage on January 13 at 6 pm. I hope to see you there!
24th June 2017 Presenting of Teutonic Ruins at Concertbuiding of Bruges.
I’m so happy and exited to share that my project about Teutonic ruins has been voted to the first place by the visitors of De Donkerste Kamer edition that took place at Concertbuilding of Bruges. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank all my friends and fans who supported me, I felt your support even at a distance of thousands of kilometres. And it gave me a lot of strength and courage to stand and to speak there. I am very glad that I was able to tell the story of the Teutonic ruins in Kaliningrad and draw people's attention to this subject. Also I want to thank the organization of the Sluitertijd for the opportunity to present my project to a wide audience and for their support for its further growth. Thank you very much!

I’d like to thank all my friends and visitors who came to the opening of my personal exposition! I was so happy to see all of you, thank you, that you have supported me, I got so much energy that I could literally fly! You are fantastic! Thank you for your enthusiasm and interest in my work! I was just little bit disappointed because I wasn’t able to talk long enough to everybody - I’d like to tell as much as possible, there are so many interesting facts about these historical objects. But I had to admit that it was impossible with so many people. I hope you enjoyed this beautiful evening. Very special thanks to Jean-Jacques Soenen and his wife Els Verhaeghe for having chosen my work and their great support. It’ s a big honor for me to have my work being exhibited in their beautiful and cozy gallery!

I am proud to announce that the project 'The ruins of the Teutonic Order', which won the public prize in the competition of The Photo Academy Award - 2013, takes part in a group exhibition of the winners and nominees in Fotomuseum in The Hague. My first visit to this museum was in 2008, when I just started studying at KASK. If someone had told me that my work will hang there in 5 years, I would never have believed it. But it happened and I'm incredibly happy! The exhibition in The Hague will run until 27 October and then goes to other cities in the Netherlands and Belgium. Everyone is welcome!

August 2013. Finalist of the ‘Photomania 2013’ (The 6th international competition of professional and amateur photo). From August 9 to September 9, 2013, group exhibition in Art Gallery, Kaliningrad, Russian Federation.
This is an exhibition where my works have participated for the first time outside of the academic education. I am very grateful to the jury and organizers for giving me such a wonderful, unique opportunity to present my work for the first time to public! Thank you! I was pleasantly surprised by level of a competition and the exhibition itself, everything was organized at the best grade, they did everything and even more to make participants and guests, (many of whom had come from abroad), feel as comfortable as possible. I met wonderful people and, for the first time taking a dip into the world of Russian photography, I realized that it lives her absolutely stunning, original life, its rich world outlook, different (!) from European, but 100% - nothing worse. I know that I will be back there again. Pictures will tell the rest of the story.

31 June 2013: Graduation and solo Exhibition at School of Arts, Ghent, project ‘Homagium’.
If someone asked me what kind of moment of my life I would like to live again, I would say: my graduation! Such scary, exciting, unpredictable, so important, very crowded event ... the last one. Last jury in Academy was so great (despite the unexpected incident with the humidity conditions in the room, which let my long-suffering pictures to warp), that I will remember this moment forever. All my dear teachers, who patiently molded something valuable from raw blank during 5 years, who always have been the hard observers, they smile suddenly so friendly and even the most toughie one nods in approval. All fellow students… there are just 10 left of almost hundred people who came to study in 2008... I will be missing them all. I feel both joy and sadness. It’s over. It’s freedom. Is it frightful? Yes it is. The main thing now is not to lose all the precious knowledge, not to waste them, and the most important and difficult thing - always stay in motion.
My first public display of work within the walls of our school during final exam.
Dean of KASK Wim De Temmerman congratulates graduates 2013 with the successful completion of the School of Arts.
My dear teachers, thank you for having been strict and wise, for personal fulfillment and for teaching me to understand art.
I will never forget you.
