OYSTI is another chapter in my artistic adventure.

The phrase "the world is my oyster" has become my personal story. I was born and raised in Central Asia, then moved to Moscow, where I graduated from the University of Printing Arts. I also traveled across European countries and learned the heights of art.

Eventually, I moved to the United States, where I made it my mission to create works that combine art, nature, and experiences. Working within the hospitality industry has been one of my passions, which is why you can see my art pieces in Marriott and various design hotels.

The OYSTI collection began with single oyster shell pieces, highlighting nature’s elegance.

My growing curiosity led me to explore the fascinating world of oysters. Learning that one oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water daily was emotional. Discovering their environmental role and New York’s history as the oyster capital transformed this project into my mission.

I aim to raise awareness about the importance of oysters and how we can contribute to a cleaner world. I hope my art and oyster dinners spark conversations about this vital topic. There is so much to learn about oysters.
