I was born in 1955 in St. Petersburg, Russia. My mother, Alla Pologova, always hoped that I would become an artist like herself. However, I went to study applied mathematics in college and made a career in computer science (see www.eggBuilder.com). In recent years I returned to painting, which I learned as an adolescent. My goal is to revive the medieval concept of art as a religious practice.
I am happily married to Ann and we have four children, three at home. We live in California. My work is available on commission or as Giclee prints. To discuss further, please use the contact form.
