"Flourishing Inside and Out" Artwork

I see myself as a soul full of balanced contradictions. Appreciating stability and predictability, which gives a – much desired – sense of security, I seek change and novelty as it facilitates growth and development. Enjoying order and harmony, I find imperfection and irregularity attractively intriguing and captivating. Cherishing tradition and rituals, I incline towards fresh, original, unique ideas. All the above-mentioned contrasting forces create harmony, and this is what I always strive to achieve in who I am and what I do – what I create. As my artistic vision reflects my current state of being and personality, my paintings are the interplay of disorder and harmony, realism and abstract, flawlessness and imperfection. They represent balance that brings peace and tranquillity. I want my art to attract feelings, not understanding. I want it to invite a viewer to increase their emotional vocabulary in order to understand more - not a painting itself, but the feelings it evokes. I want to trigger the reflection on the importance of noticing and honouring one’s own emotions and thoughts, without letting them take control over our life. I believe a human face, which is my main focus, is a perfect mean to capture as well as arouse feelings, curiosity. In order to create the previously mentioned interplay, I experiment with different media, techniques and tools, introducing a lot of texture.
