I was born and raised in Belarus. I graduated from the Belarusian Academy of Arts with a degree in Puppet Theatre Directing.

Making things with my hands, creative work, painting, and drawing have always been my hobbies, and this was very helpful in my work in puppet theatre. My productions have been staged in Grodno and Maladzyechna in Belarus, as well as in Moscow. Almost all of them are still being performed today.

Another theatrical field that has been a major part of my life is dance. I developed dance improvisation in Belarus and was one of the founders of a dance theatre in 2000.

I moved to Warsaw in 2023. I am not currently working on theatre projects; instead, I am developing my practice in painting and drawing.
