ARTIST STATEMENT
ARTIST
I started with oil painting, and have now shifted to using mixed media. I love to experiment: the joy and energy of working with them are critical to everything I do.
An essential component of my visual art is the creation of different levels of meaning: emotional, figurative, metaphorical, symbolic, and philosophical, among others.
I appreciate when text can add its own value to a work, instead of merely explaining the visual.
For the last several years, I have tried various combinations of painting, video, statistical data, ready-made objects, live substances, recycling art, Paintings_Dresses, VR and performative sand art at the seashore.
My themes multiply and unfold in different ways. I search for connections to the past, the present and the future; mythology, human feelings, discoveries and new journeys, new worlds and planets, and the beauty of nature revealing in detail.
RESEARCHER
Some of my research is visual and could be parts of/or the whole art projects.
The themes of my academic research are related to art as a form of communication. Multi- and mono-disciplinary, diversity in themes and messages in various art techniques.
Also I am interested in creativity and novel approaches in design, advertising and PR, art collaborations of different kinds and personal branding of modern artists with the focus on introvertive artists' nature because that happens to be my case as well.
