Ruslan was born 1986 in Yalta, Crimea. He graduated from the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv. He participated in many international art exhibitions and competitions (Kyiv, St. Petersburg, Berlin, Glendale (California)). Ruslan continues the tradition of the Crimean impressionistic landscape school. βThe main source of inspiration for me is the southern nature.
