Artist Statement In my artworks, I address the topics of human interaction and digital space, the influence of social networks, the impact of advertising content and digital context on a person, the transformation of a person's lifestyle as a result of these relationships, the shift of priorities. When I creating my artworks, I use different mediums, but I give the main role to digital art. My love for digital media is due to my many years of experience as a graphic designer and a digital illustrator. My experience as a graphic designer and many years of experience in creating advertising graphics have shown me how it is possible to influence people's consciousness and behavior with digital content. I am trying to understand the significance of this influence, how much such influence changes modern life, how necessary it is, how much it can be managed. I am looking for answers to these questions through my artworks.
