About me I was born in 1975 in Rostov-on-Don / Russia and now I`m living there. I get youth artist school and high architectural education and my diploma profession is Interior Designer.

Since 2005, I sculpted for different companies like TANK and MIG-productions. My own BRAVO-6 project was began in 2008. Q: Your earliest modelling moment or the first time you met military models?
