    ▶STATEMENT

    ✨All of us are the smallest particles of the world and at the same time reflections of the entire universe in all its grandeur and diversity. And one day I realized that I unconsciously create my paintings according to the same principle: from carefully traced smallest details, from small pieces the whole is created. And the main feature of these images is the ambiguity, the mystery, which each viewer sees and unravels in his own way. 

    💫I call my paintings «Enigma Abstracts»‎. Through various color combinations and graphic forms, I transfer the play of emotions and feelings in their visual embodiment. The art objects in the paintings are intertwined with the background, they do not appear immediately but emerge as if from the depths. Their presence on the canvas is first felt and only after this feeling they can be seen.

    👨‍👩‍👧Each viewer sees something different and is absolutely free to interpret what he sees. This possibility for the viewer to make his or her own choice is the most important thing for me in my work.
