Original artwork description:

My second work in a series devoted to the first experience of a small person encountering various feelings and emotions. Memory works amazingly - pulling out of its layers images that got there earlier and transforming them into something new. Working on this series, I found many clues in the subconscious world of a young person’s feelings and dreams.

I believe childhood is one of the key periods of life – when all patterns form, touching the base of our self-identity. For my paintings, I deliberately select iconographic language as it is the only means I know powerful enough to communicate on such delicate and deeply hidden matters. I never just portray children but rather aspire to deliver in an indivisible artistic space all integrity and separation of the hidden internal world with the environment where a pure young person is located.
