Holod Remix EP
art direction, collage, lurmish
2025
A chilling exploration of loneliness and the freezing feeling of being lost in pain. For the Holod Remix EP, I reimagined the artwork from the Superposition album, expanding on its theme of overlapping elements. The new visuals explore this concept from a digital standpoint, merging emotion and technology. Stay tuned for the upcoming release.

Superposition LP
art direction, collage, print, lurmish
2024
For longtime collaborators Lurmish, I art directed and designed the cover for Superposition — an analogue interpretation of the fundamental physics principle stating that physical solutions of linear systems are linear. Blending mixed-media collage with repurposed Hi8 footage, the artwork captures multiple states at once, culminating in a composition that gives a subtle nod to Da Vinci’s Vitruvian form. Surreal yet tactile, raw yet precise — just like the music itself.

Graphic Support for Masha Maria
art direction, motion, collage, print, merch
2024
I collaborated with Masha Maria to bring her evolving sound to life visually, creating single artworks, merch, promotional materials, lyric videos, and motion design. With a focus on brujeria, the designs incorporated dark, mysterious, and slightly psychedelic elements, mirroring the shift in her music from soft, healing hymns to darker, more intimate, and mature tones.

Golosa Live Performance Backdrop
art direction, motion
2024
For Golosa, I created a backdrop that visually captured the song’s theme of rediscovering one's voice. Starting with an original photo of Bernshtein, I crafted a frozen version and animated the transition within a digital room I built, where I relit the scene to emphasize the gradual melting of the ice statue. This process symbolizes her journey from silence to self-expression — reflecting the song’s metaphor of emerging from a cold, enduring winter into a spring of awakening.

Animation Support for Notabird

2024
A series of animated artworks for Notabird’s ARTPUNK LP, Remixes EP, and various singles. The band approached me to bring more life to their album covers, and I pushed their visuals further — using surreal animation and collage techniques to reveal hidden layers beneath the original artworks. The result? A deeper dive into the darkness, psychosis, and uneasiness woven into their sound.

Disruption of Symmetry LP
art direction, collage, merch, lurmish
2024
For Lurmish’s stripped-down EP, I art-directed and designed the cover to reflect the beauty in disrupting symmetry. A collage of the heroine, semi-merged with an oil-painted butterfly, mirrors the music’s transformation — delicate yet raw, fragmented yet whole.

Artworks for Alpha-Beta Singles
art direction, print
2024
For several Alpha-Beta singles, I used AI to blend and retexture images, translating their melodies and uncanny valley aesthetics into visual form. The choice of AI as a tool reinforced the eerie, almost human-but-not-quite feeling present in the music, blurring the line between the organic and the artificial.

Monomyph Bureau
identity, art direction, print
2023
Monomyph Bureau came to life with a visual language as playful as the characters it helps create. Drawing from early 00s games aesthetic and the agency’s brand family, I built an identity rooted in connection—where familiar patterns tell stories, and stickers become a tool for dialogue. Beyond the brand visuals, I also developed internal and external documents, brochures, and proposals to ensure a cohesive identity across every touchpoint.

Animation Support for Loen

2023
I helped Loen, the Russian-German musician, animate several artworks for her LP and singles, as well as create immersive backdrops for her live performances. The animations for the backdrops set a dreamy, folk-inspired mood, transporting the audience to an intimate, almost surreal state that perfectly complemented the music. For the cover animations, I visualized the artist’s dreamscape, bringing her ethereal, quasi-ethnic vision to life.

Mir Geroev Pitch

2023
For the Mir Geroev project, I was responsible for preparing various internal and external documents that visually brought to life the heroes of Russian folklore. The aim was to create a visual narrative that connected these ancient legends with a modern perspective.

Sandglass Protocol
art direction, 3d
2023
An editorial illustration visualizing the remnants of lost systems and buried transmissions. Created in Cinema 4D + Redshift, the piece merges speculative archaeology with digital surrealism—fractured glass, weathered wood, and a monolithic shard standing in a desolate, time-worn landscape. A visual study of decay, memory, and the artifacts left behind.

DGA Anniversary Website
web
2022
For Doing Great Agency’s anniversary website, I created an interactive world map showcasing the team’s global presence. Clicking on each geotag revealed personal bios and a voice memo with a small message from each team member. The second section featured a gallery of photos capturing DGA’s work process and shared memories from over five years of collaboration.

Aetheria Jewels
3d
2022
For Aetheria Jewels, I created realistic 3D renders, focusing on materials, lighting, and camera angles to capture the brilliance of the diamonds and the intricate details of the metal jewelry. The renders highlighted the beauty of both the sparkling gems and the elegant metal designs, each modeled with precision to showcase their unique features.

2022
A Valentine’s Day shoot turned into a surreal love letter.

Captured and edited live concert photography during Lurmish’s show at the planetarium, celebrating the release of Hypnos. The immersive 360-degree projections on the planetarium dome transformed the space, wrapping the performance in a dreamlike atmosphere—perfectly in tune with the album’s themes.

Hypnos LP
art direction, collage, 3d, photo, print, merch, motion, lurmish
2021
For Lurmish’s sophomore LP Hypnos, we crafted a dreamlike visual world inspired by its namesake — the Greek personification of sleep. Rooted in the myth of Melusine, the imagery transforms the band’s lead singer into her own interpretation of spectral water spirit, through a fusion of photography, 3D, and collage.

2021
Captured and edited live concert photography for Dima Midborn’s performance at Masts Club.

2021
Freezaka and Hindelanger Str. approached me to craft the visual world for their LENBEAT EP—an artwork, promotional animation, and static assets that captured the flow and rhythm of St. Petersburg. Using 3D design, I translated the city’s hazy movement and lo-fi beats into a visual language that felt fluid, atmospheric, and inherently LENBEAT.

Blühend invited me to photograph their watering cans, balancing two distinct styles—one with a dramatic, moody edge and the other in a clean, classic catalog presentation. The result showcased the objects both as everyday essentials and as sculptural design pieces.

The concept blended elements from various eras, creating an archetype of a soft-hearted girl at the crossroads of time—part classic fable heroine, part 90s rebel, and part contemporary independent woman. This cohesive vision spanned the Smotri EP and Beztebyatye LP, including animated covers and merchandise that carried the unique, timeless spirit of her sound.

Unanswered Echoes
art direction, collage, photo, lurmish
2018
During Lurmish’s debut LP era, Superblitz, I captured enigmatic liquid digital distortion shots to immerse the audience deeper into Lurmish’s lore. Using a mix of analogue and digital techniques, both during the shoot and in post-production, I created visuals that evoke a sense of isolation and mystery, much like the twisted game-show concept behind the album. These shots were used across social media and concert posters, enhancing the mystique surrounding the Superblitz era.
