STATEMENT Turbulent times make us strive for eternal values. My paintings are my research of world's transformation from self-destruction to re-creation, the way towards conscious Happiness. I am turning to impressionists’ fundamentals, their challenge to capture flashes of emotions, memories and dreams. Re-thinking historical traditions in my abstracts I reflect deeper feelings evoked by daily life. Combination of eternal and modern techniques makes pursue of Happiness in my art key to inner and outer Balance. I wish my art helps people to live through turbulent times and teaches all of us to treasure moments of Joy and Beauty. WEBSITE
