He was born on August 28, 1958, in Leningrad in a family of doctors. [2] When Makov was five years old, his parents moved to Ukraine, where he lived for some time in Rivne, Kyiv, and Simferopol. [3] He studied at an art school for three years. Until the eighth grade, he was mainly interested in biology and literature. [4]

[5] For some time he worked as a master printer and taught. [6]

Speaking about the identity of a modern artist, Makov calls himself a Ukrainian artist, given that he lives in Ukraine and understands the Ukrainian reality. He compares his situation with the problems of self-representation of Catalan artists, but at the same time opposes the fact that contemporary art is based on folklore. [3]
In May 2011, Makov met the American philosopher and literary theorist Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, who visited his workshop during his stay in Kharkiv. Regarding this visit, Makov said: "This is the first time I have seen someone describe in words what I do. I don't deny postmodernism, I just couldn't find my place there. And Humbrecht showed me where I was." [13]
