 The series of paintings – a self portrait Total Body, are provoked by my attempts to sculpt a perfect and strong body with "my online fitness instructor" ’s help. The depicted bodies have ceased to carry the proper meaning of an anatomical and physical regularity, but they have begun to sound in an abstract way. The form has lost its determination and integrity, as well as the obsession with a perfect body can deform the look over oneself to unreal dimensions. 

Total Body

The series of paintings titled "Temples" are pieces of industrial enterprises constructions, set in the background of their natural surroundings. Represented as clipping or collage in the landscape, the images acquire new different contexts.
The huge industrial areas appear as an integral part of the urban space, yet remain distant and autonomous. Their impressive scale spread over large areas, creating a
categorical and heavy rhythm of the landscape.They are both "here" and "nowhere”. Somewhere beyond the outskirts of the town, merging in nature, these complexes exist in their own context. As though wrapped in mystery, they are hanging like silent monuments - temples.
