About Me
I was born and grew up in beautiful Kiev, Ukraine (go visit if you don't believe me!). When I was twelve, my parents decided to come to America. With
two suitcases and $300, we started our new life in Philadelphia in the summer of 1990. After some trying times (a book could be written), we made it and I eventually got
accepted to and graduated from
Cornell University. Then I moved to Boston, where I currently reside and work
at a small startup that creates music visualization products.
In my spare time, I travel and pursue film and photography. I also enjoy competitive running and triathlons.
My last exciting "side" project was working as the Director of Photography on a
feature-length independent film in 2004.
Artist Statement
I thrive for that tingling sensation I get when the moon and the stars so perfectly reflect in a
completely still body of water, that I am even afraid to sigh as not to disturb this beautiful tranquility--
much less to feel the right to release the shutter and capture it. I believe it is a challenge to create a
piece of art--an inanimate object--that is simple yet has a living voice and is able to evoke feelings in its
human observer. I therefore strive to preserve that elusive tingle in my work and hope for the audience
to experience it the way I initially did.
Miscellaneous
My full time job is at
SoundSpectrum, the maker of
G-Force music visuals.
Check out the art of my aunt, Irene Radaui.
Not too bad, eh?
Check out a friend's current work project, The Phoenix Islands Protected Area.
See the screenshots of the first short film I shot in the spring of 2003, Ascent.
