Artist Statement:
“I find inspiration everywhere — the things I see, the way I feel; a painting can be triggered by a poem or a tune. I believe that creating art is a necessity for my soul, feelings, and sensitivity. My goal is to take the viewer through the whole process — from the reality, through its transformation in my mind, through the expression of my own feelings, to the new reality on the canvas. My style is free and bold. I love contrast, sudden changes of color, unusual color palettes: everything that makes a painting come ALIVE.”
