I believe that contemporary artist should live outside the boundaries and clichés. My artistic motto is ‘Freedom to the Content’. I strive to create outside the genres and limits. But I always stay true to my artistic style

The sphere of my interests encompasses a wide range of topics that have to do with the environmental conservation, ecology, the interaction between nature and human being, the interrelatedness of elements and the balance between the living and non-living. For fifteen years now painting has been the main medium of my work. It is painting that has allowed me to pursue most fully the task that interested me in that period: to attain the richest and the most precise representation possible of the surrounding reality through the prism of the artist’s optics. Later on, having dwelled deeper on the theory of contemporary art I turned to sculpture, more specifically, to kinetic sculpture. That was when I began to develop new plastic, semantic and more abstract approaches in my work. 

Sculptural series of the last several years were the product of my thinking about the short distance that separates nature’s creations on the one hand from man-made objects and the affinity between the two. The idea of impossibility of drawing a neat boundary between these two “mediums” postulated in contemporary critical theory has become the starting point for my experiments with materials and forms.
