Statement:
Every work tells us a story or reminds some memory from the past or is a mixture of feelings and emotions. 2021-2022 works period I dedicated to my step father who had taught me one thing: never to loose my dreams and never stop dreaming. So, as a result I have returned to the painting after 10 years of silence. And both I have got acquainted with sailing that also has changed my life and has been reflected in my works. Sailing, thoughts, decisions, fears and their overcoming, dreams and their coming true, believing in some other dimensions and energies that can unite us even if we don’t exist on the planet anymore, understanding that every person and every place and happening is for a reason and that it is a step that gives us opportunity for growth and consciousness improvement. So, every day brings us new emotions that I can share with you through my works, both they can unite us and even help by just watching, thinking and reminding or dreaming maybe…
