The main topic of my creative research is personal identity. I work with mind-body connection, vulnerability, psychological injuries, drawing on a combination of existential therapy and psychoanalytic methods, inviting viewers to consider looking deep within themselves.

The arsenal of my art media is selected for each separate concept statement. The complex and plastic nature of water color allows the expression of a multitude of emotions, with the help of genres from photorealism to abstraction, from subtle pastel shades to saturated deep colors. The creative possibilities of oil and thin gold leaves introduce refined effect together with immersing the viewer in thoughts on personal integrity. The viewer interaction at a tactile level is achieved through exploration of the quality opportunities of plastic bodies.
