His childhood and youth were held in conditions of political and economic reforms in the country, which affected the welfare Vitaly's family (parents worked in the defense industry) and the impossibility of learning the profession of artist. Despite desire to be engaged in creativity, he, after leaving school, enters the Institute of Law. After graduation Vitaly worked in law enforcement agencies, and then a lawyer at various enterprises. All this time, he did not abandon his passion, painting the during lectures and classes at the institute, as well as meetings and talks at work, notebooks, diaries and notebooks with small drawings on different topics.
