ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The painting "The Sprouts of My Confidence" from the MADELEINE series explores the theme of growth—internal, emotional, and intellectual. It speaks about how confidence emerges from simple yet meaningful things: books, past experiences, and the care given to something that requires time and patience.
This work is about the process of self-formation through small but consistent actions. Just as sprouts need nurturing, confidence does not appear suddenly—it is nourished by memories, knowledge, and moments of reflection. The artist conveys that relying on the past, whether through books, lived emotions, or cherished rituals, creates a foundation for a sense of personal strength.
The painting also evokes warmth and security, emphasizing the importance of the space where one can grow. This space can be both physical—a home, a library, a garden—and internal—a world of thoughts, memories, and ideas. In this work, time seems to slow down, inviting the viewer to reflect: what gives them confidence, what roots sustain their growth?
"The Sprouts of My Confidence" serves as a reminder that self-belief, like any living thing, requires care, time, and attention. And that the simplest and most familiar things can become a source of profound strength.


MADELEINE Series
The series of works “Madeleine” are the artist’s reflections on the nature of time and memory, the ability of art to recreate the past and give it meaning.
The series is a deeply autobiographical study, where the artist asks questions about the nature of false memories, the ability of memory to correctly store stories, the ability of things and people to influence the perception of memory.
As in Proust’s novel “In Search of Lost Time,” where the taste of Madeleine becomes the key to the invisible rooms of the past, each painting by the artist is a gateway to personal memories that mix with fictitious images, evoking a feeling of either déjà vu or reality, a subtle but always vivid anticipation .
In the Madeleine series, the artist reveals an abundance of emotions and experiences, and, like Proust, uses art as a means to recreate the past, giving it new meaning and new value. Each work is a dialogue between the present and the past, between the external world and the internal space of memory.
