For over 10 years, I dedicated myself to rhythmic gymnastics in Russia, training intensively and competing at a high level. My commitment and discipline led me to participate in one of the most prestigious national events — the Russian United Competition for Rhythmic Gymnastics. This experience not only refined my technical skills and physical endurance but also instilled in me strong values of perseverance, focus, and teamwork. Being part of such a competitive environment taught me how to perform under pressure, set long-term goals, and continuously strive for excellence. These qualities now guide me in every new challenge I take on, both professionally and personally.

I have several certificates of participation and achievement from local and national rhythmic gymnastics competitions, including one from the Russian United Competition.

I love working with my hands and creating small-scale art that tells a story. One of my main passions is building detailed miniatures of old Russian houses. I design and construct them with attention to architecture, texture, and atmosphere often adding tiny details like weathering effects or miniature graffiti to give each model character and a sense of life. My graffiti work is inspired by urban culture and adds a playful or emotional layer to the scene. In addition to model making, I also draw. One of my favorite styles is inspired by Yayoi Kusama. I enjoy creating floral patterns with dots and repetition, exploring how something simple can become mesmerizing and expressive. I also like to draw hair, especially braids and traditional hairstyles, because it connects deeply to my culture and heritage. Through this, I reflect identity, beauty, and the uniqueness of different traditions. Art is not just a hobby for me, it's my personal form of storytelling.
