FROM CHILD TO CROWN: A DANCE OF DUALITY |

I've always believed that art is a mirror of the soul, a language far more profound than words. My work is a direct exploration of this idea, diving into the core of human experience—the tension between what we show and what we hold within.

Inspired by the universal forms found in nature, I create art that seeks to unveil the endless, unconscious world we may never fully grasp. My collections navigate the profound and often painful journey from childlike purity to the raw, honest nature of a mature feminine. Each piece is born from the battle to hold onto the secure innocence of childhood while facing the fear of vulnerability and the risk of pain that comes with growing up. This duality of light and shadow, strength and vulnerability, is the very heart of my art.

My work is a constant process of discovery, where each piece holds a hidden meaning, a secret conversation between me and the material—be it the sensual depths of paint, the unyielding strength of marble, or the raw texture of limestone. It’s an intimate act of creation, and I invite you to find your own story within these works, to feel the deepest emotions they hold and let them speak to your soul.

ART - High School, University, Extra Courses (out of curiosity) but the most real learning has been in the last about 15 years when I have dedicated myself to learning and listening to my intuition and instincts (even deliberately trying to shake off and forget things that I was taught in schools) and trying to escape from all imposed frameworks.

My education is entirely in Art sphere, but even that I am really thankful to all my teachers, I deeply believe that the most important part in Art is my own view and my own personal, private emotion... The Art has to be felt! The Art has to be into you, a part of you!
