Before entering the academy he studied at the Suzdal Art and Restoration School, Department of Architectural Metal Restoration (2005 - 2010). Since 2018 - teacher at the department of metal in the Stieglitz Stieglitz Academy of Arts and Industry. In 2018 he had his first solo exhibition - "Metabionics" - which presented graphics and objects made of metal. Ilya works in various directions: sculpture, graphics, art object, installation, public art. In his work, the artist reflects on the principles of natural forms. Analyzes and reveals the inner mechanisms of physical phenomena in his work. Trying to go the way that nature goes, creating the world around us. The main method chosen by the artist for research is experimentation. It assumes that the form cannot be foreseen in advance. The plastic idea undergoes an evolution through a series of conceived and accidental transformations. And it is precisely chance that makes it possible for a form not to be recreated, but to be a new image.
