I was born in Kishinev, Moldova, to a family who did not believe that Art could be a valuable undertaking. Throughout much turmoil, through multiple migrations, I had always been able to carve out a safe haven from reality, by filtering it all through the lens of my dreams.
I have always seen the grotesque aspects of daily life as a natural source of inspiration. My family’s everlasting discouraging input was a welcome added source of frustration, which fueled my passion and direction.
I first exhibited my art at The Tel Aviv Museum, as a student at an art high school.
Upon arriving to California, I participated in the mentor program at Santa Monica City College. Since then, I graduated from California Institute of the Arts, Character Animation department. In May 2004, my animated short film City e-Scape was featured in Anifest – International Film Festival – Czech Republic and Austria. I was a co-owner and curator of the Milla Angelina Gallery. I illustrated numerous books; my art is exhibited in Galleries in Southern California.
