My thoughts are focused on a topic that is important to me — contemporary art, its meanings, and hidden stories. Often, many of us are so influenced by fashion and new trends that we are ready to buy and admire things that sometimes turn out to be completely meaningless and empty. What if we stopped chasing the trend of profound canvases covered in one color of paint? What if we didn’t try to squeeze meaning out of our subconscious that is supposedly embedded in a painting of three stripes?

What if, instead, we could simply admire the beauty that the Creator or the Universe gives us every day? What if we allowed ourselves to marvel at and praise a phenomenon or element that has existed for millions of years and will remain for centuries after us?

In my work, I want to convey what has objective and universal value, not what is interpreted subjectively, sometimes beyond comprehension.

Perhaps my works won’t become fashionable, but they will remain honest and understandable to the majority, regardless of their background or deep philosophical reflections. And most importantly, each one will contain a piece of my soul, praising the beauty and grandeur of the world around us…
