For as long as I can remember, I have always been drawing. This thing to
do has always been natural and necessary for me. I remember an episode
from early childhood. I was 3 years old. Dad and I were going home by
bus. A sticker with a lion cub near the driver’s cab attracted my
attention. I closed my eyes and imagined how I would paint my lion cub
on paper. We ran home, from the bus stop. I had to get to pencils
faster. Obviously, this was the moment of realizing my ability to
creative.
My concept is original technique for original
ideas. It is not a spontaneous insight or discovery. This is all my experience,
knowledge and daily work. My artistic space is my life. This is what
happens to me and around me. Looking at my life through art is natural for me. I memorize
and record ideas, lights, and colors.
I try to combine painting with graphics literally.
However, this combination of different techniques is not an end in itself. An
idea is the most important. The method of embodiment is chosen for it.
I am trying to convey this with my author's technique,
which I keep on developing. In my work, I often use surrealistic stories, with
encrypted images, which are not easy to see sometimes. In addition, I like to introduce flashes of
light using an open color palette and the synthesis of graphic elements. Well
actually, I prefer to express everything on canvas, in order not to do it with
words;).
If you have knowledge and skills,
you always want to do more and know more. This process is endless. Creativity makes us free and does not allow us
to stop.
