"Nine" Painting

I am a contemporary artist working within the realm of figurative expressionism and mixed media. In my artistic practice, I explore the category of "deep time" and the metaphysical connection between the material and invisible worlds.
​My creative method is rooted in a combination of the academic school of easel painting and experimental techniques. Utilizing acrylics and metal leaf (gold and silver), I create multilayered, textured spaces where the metallic radiance serves not as a decorative element, but as a tool for viewer engagement. This reflective surface transforms you, the observer, into an active participant in the moment, blurring the boundary between physical space and the plane of the canvas.
​Through my diverse body of work, I consistently investigate the intersection of personal memory and universal symbols. In my series "When the Forest Was an Ocean," I engage with the theme of temporal paradox, visualizing the transformation of ancient landscapes and the cyclical nature of existence. "The Silk Road" project expands this anthropological line, weaving traditional ornaments into the canvases as symbols of ancestral memory that enter into a dialogue with sacred imagery. Across all my series, my paintings represent a search for points of convergence between personal nostalgia and global cultural codes.
