Always in search of ideas, dreaming big, making it real, never giving up.
Artist Statement
Most of my artworks are based on my own feelings and impressions.
My art reflects my hopes, dreams, personal contradictions, life experience, creative chaos.
Each artwork is a story I want to tell my audience. Objects and characters are often stylized, unsuitable for the reality, composition is distorted. It means I want to show another side of this world – the world of imperfection. And in this world my visions are different and controversial. I believe it makes my art peculiar, something that has a mystery, it is a message without words.
I love to work with different color matches, experiment with textures and techniques. You can see it in my abstract works. It allows me to create not depending on a certain idea or image.
I use various mediums, but my favorites are acrylic paints and oil pastels which I like to combine.
I do not define my art by a certain genre or style. My art is a message I want to bring to this world, and I hope my message will be heard.
