I was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan, where glassmaking was something I could only admire through shop windows. At the age of fifteen, I made the life-changing decision to move to the Czech Republic to pursue my passion for this remarkable material.

I graduated from the Secondary School of Glassmaking in Kamenický Šenov and later earned a Master’s degree in Glass Design at Tomas Bata University in Zlín under the guidance of Professor Petr Stanický. Throughout my studies, I explored a wide range of glassmaking techniques and developed a particular passion for hot glass and blown glass.

Alongside my artistic practice, I became deeply interested in lighting design and the relationship between glass, light, and space. I designed glass objects, lighting installations, and functional luminaires, using the optical properties of glass to create atmosphere, emphasize form, and shape the perception of space.

My work is driven by a fascination with the expressive qualities of glass and its interaction with light. I believe that thoughtful design has the power to evoke emotions, transform spaces, and create meaningful experiences.

Today, my goal is to continue creating contemporary glass and lighting objects that combine craftsmanship, innovation, and a strong artistic vision.
