Maxim Simonenko

Welcome!

My name is Maxim Simonenko and art is my vocation. I started as a computer scientist. That didn't last long. I quit my job as a computer scientist, became an artist and have never regretted this decision.

Today I'm booked all over Europe as a portrait artist. Or as a lecturer and course leader for drawing people and manga. So much material has accumulated that I can now publish one book after another to

share my knowledge.

Have fun and much creative joy!

Maxim ^^
