Artist Statement
We are looking for answers and often we find them in art. Art can not lie. There is no place for falsehood here. It bares our souls, leaving us defenseless face to face with our true Self, true desires, feelings and fears. In my work i explore the human psyche, deep aspects of personality, character formation, various emotional states, interpersonal conflicts and the reasons for their occurrence. Here on canvas with the help of brushes and paints I explore human soul, my soul and ways how to cure it.
I never studied painting, but one day brushes and colors became my salvation, paintings became my refuge. At first it was not easy, but when i realized that neither i nor my paintings should meet anyone's expectations or be perfect, i stopped making mistakes. I am not interested in issues of proportions, composition, color and light, etc. I am interested in my inner response - how much the image on the canvas harmonizes with the state of my soul. Honesty is my biggest critic.
The paintings speak. They are ready to reveal their secrets to anyone who is ready to hear them.
We do not know ourselves, we do not know who we are, where we came from and where we are going to...
