Archetypes
I challenge myself with use of a visual language that is a combination of techniques and styles, with roots in the European Renaissance and classical antiquity. Being a contemporary person and using archaic language allows me to connect with a continuum rather than with a particular moment in time. Studying techniques and styles of the past was just one part of the experience. Those human qualities -- Archetypes -- are the focus of my work, which I synthesize in visually clear, realistic, allegorical and symbolical formulas.
