ARTIST STATEMENT
My art is an art without rules and boundaries, it reflects on the worldview theme, life psychology, relationships, states, systems, and Samsara.
I express all my emotions and experiences on canvas, using different colors and textures. I convey my mood via the subtlest shades. My works bear the spirit of the time, which fascinates and echoes in the soul in subtle overtones.
As an artist, I strive to capture the life of the most profound and hidden corners of our consciousness and convey it in my works. All the images I create - wilted leaves, old trees, peeling doors, walls, stairs, rotten avocados - are parts of the most important life cycles and their fading precedes the birth of everything new.
