October 7–10, 2026
The inaugural Chicago Art Fair took place at THE MART (Merchandise Mart). I was pleased to have my work represented by Addington Gallery at this first edition of the fair, which brought together galleries and artists from around the world, establishing a new international platform for contemporary art and art collecting.

URBAN ECHOES 2026 — Addington Gallery, Chicago

September 11–October 30, 2026
The third annual URBAN ECHOES exhibition continues my exploration of the relationship between people and the urban environment. This year, I present a new body of work inspired by everyday scenes and the changing atmosphere of the city: its streets, architecture, public spaces, and the interplay of light and movement. Through these observations, I examine how places shape our experiences and how ordinary moments can acquire new meaning when viewed from a different perspective.

PAXOS VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE — Paxos, Greece

July 3–August 16, 2026
In this body of work, I explore the vernacular architecture of Paxos, focusing on the island’s historic stone houses, shops, ruined buildings, and traditional church belfries scattered throughout the landscape. Each painting is an individual portrait of a characteristic island building. Through these works, I aim to capture not only the appearance and nostalgic presence of these structures but also preserve a record of the island’s architectural heritage, which is gradually disappearing.

The exhibition was curated by Christophe Boicos.

URBAN ECHOES 2025 — Addington Gallery, Chicago

September 12–October 30, 2025
The city is always speaking through cracked sidewalks, old façades, and the details of everyday life. My paintings record that conversation. In this body of work, I explore how people and places shape each other over time, and how something ordinary can become strangely precious when removed from its usual context.

DAILY IMPRESSIONS — Addington Gallery, Chicago

September 6–October 25, 2024
In this exhibition, I presented 12 recent oil paintings united by the theme of everyday life. As a longtime Chicago resident, I find inspiration in my daily routine. Surrounded by the city’s architecture and everyday activity, I draw inspiration from my daily walks and bicycle rides, as well as from visits to the opera and museums.

2023–2024
My etchings were selected for the 2023 Guanlan International Print Biennial Exhibition at the China Printmaking Museum, one of the world’s major printmaking events.

I have maintained a long-standing relationship with the Guanlan Original Printmaking Base. I completed residencies there in 2010 and 2013, held a solo exhibition in 2010, and received a top award at the Second International Guanlan Print Biennial.

Union League Club of Chicago

February of 2018 and December 2021
I was awarded two solo shows at the legendary Union League Club of Chicago. I felt particularly honored to show my work at the Club because of its history and its involvement in the arts ever since it was founded in 1879.

The Club’s art collection includes works by several important and influential artists, particularly from the 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Claude Monet, Grant Wood, George Bellows, and John Singer Sargent.

My exhibitions turned out to be the most successful in terms of sales since the beginning of the exhibition program at the Club. The program features a diverse range of exhibitions, from solo shows to group exhibitions, and has become a significant part of the Club’s identity.

Van Roey

Curated by Em. Prof. Hugo U. Besard
GROEP VAN ROEY, one of the biggest building companies in Belgium participates in the International Graphic Project. Every year 7 artists get invited to produce two etchings for the collection. I was honored to be one of this distinguished group in 2020. The project became truly international because it was initiated in Belgium, I have produced the plates during my residency at Il Besonte in Florence, the addition was printed in Portugal, and I signed the prints while back in Chicago.

Dedee Shattuck Gallery, Westport, Massachusetts, USA

July 31 – September 1, 2019
The show is curated by Ben Shattuck, the gallery’s lead curator.
I was invited to take part in the exhibition of Eastern European artists, to which I contributed three urban paintings of St. Petersburg, the city of my birth. I found it particularly meaningful to create this body of work because it set my mind down memory lane. I welcomed the chance to re-experience my childhood memories and relate to them as an adult.

Exhibition and Residency at Il Besonte Foundation in Florence, Italy

May 23 – June 12, 2019
The show was curated by Simone Guaita, the president of the foundation. I was honored and humbled to see my etchings exhibited alongside the works by Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso (In 1960 Picasso printed on the premises of Il Bisonte the only lithography that he ever made in Italy). The foundation has acquired one of my etchings for its permanent collection.
