Inspiration.Senses.Creativity.
My art is an attempt to read the language of the Universe, to discern in the forms of nature those truths that we are accustomed to ignoring in everyday life.
I observe the world as an open book: the shape of leaves, the movement of a snake, the blooming of a flower or the structure of a human face - all these are symbols for me that lead into the depths, to meaning.
In my works, I combine natural elements with esoteric motifs to reveal the inner world of phenomena. For example, the image of a monstera accompanied by a snake and a candle turns into an alchemical metaphor of vital energy, where each hole in the leaf is a gate to another dimension.
Portraits transform into mirrors of the soul - they either radiate their own light or reveal shadows.
Methods and techniques
My practice is based on oil and acrylic painting. I use a rich, expressive palette that helps convey emotional states and spiritual experiences. Color in my works is not just a shade, but an energy code. In my compositions, I often combine the figurative with the abstract, creating space for interpretations.
I also often work with graphics, sometimes combining it with painting to emphasize the multidimensionality of the image.
