"What is Cheburashka thinking about?" Painting

I create contemporary paintings exploring memory, perception, and emotional tension through color, texture, and layered compositions. My work moves between abstraction and figuration, combining structural forms with intuitive gestures and material depth. I am particularly interested in the way visual fragments—spaces, objects, faces, and remembered impressions—can be transformed into personal visual narratives. Painting is my most natural language. Through it, I investigate the relationship between what is seen, remembered, and emotionally experienced. The physicality of paint is central to my practice. Texture, layering, and color relationships allow me to build images that feel both constructed and instinctive—balancing order with spontaneity. My works are designed to create atmosphere, visual presence, and subtle tension within contemporary spaces, while inviting a more personal and reflective reading.
