My main interest is looking for signs of mysteries in our life and studying evidence of their penetrations into the real world. Almost all my paintings and books are around this theme. As well, I've been trying to detect mysterious penetrations in some border individuals.

So it was just natural to me to settle in Jerusalem, the most mysterious place in the world. This city has a great influence on my paintings and texts.

Instead of proper autobiography I prefer to let you know 10 facts about me. At least 9 of them are true :)

1. I was a psychiatrist. The problem is that I finished my psychiatric practice many years ago, but still arrive at diagnosis.

2. I'm an author of 10 books (fiction and poetry). The problem is that all of them are in Russian and only one is translated to English.

3. I'm a full time artist for the last 18 years. About 300 original artworks of mine are in private collections and museums in 15 countries. The problem is that now I want some of them back.

4. I have a beautiful old Himalayan cat. The problem is that veterinarians don't accept paintings or drawings instead of money.

5. I live 2 miles from the center of the Universe. The problem is that you can't hide yourself from God here.

6. During 5 years I was a cat. The problem is to be a Human being now.

7. My son is a musician and my husband is a writer. I guess there is no need to explain what is the problem here.

8. I'm a senior lieutenant. The problem is that this army and even the state don't exist any more.

9. I get from 5 to10 injections and few pills every day. No problem.

10. I hate lies. This is a big problem.
