Having started making art at the age of three, Orduyan began his formal art education at the age of 7, after being accepted into "Moscow Art School".

In New York City, he has exhibited his work while continuing to work as an Animator and also as a Computer Graphics Artist. During the winter of 1995 he invited to work as a Lead Artist for Konami, a Video Game Development company. There he was promoted to Art Director and then to a Creative Director position.
