Artist’s Statement
Art has been with me since I was a child. I grew into an artist as I grew up. Every time I start a new job, I also start a new world. It is such a fascinating idea that it carries through a wide variety of life situations and creates meaning for doing things.
Animals, plants and children often appear in my works. Color seasons vary, but as a rule my color palette is fresh and rich.
The basis of my artistic work is observing the everyday environment. In my works, small experiences and images of a fleeting moment become part of something larger and thus acquire deeper meanings when they meet the viewer. It is important for me to work in the field of art freely, diversely and looking for something new. I'm not locked into only one technique, but I combine different types of activities. The idea chooses the material. This working ideology has enabled me to be creative with different forms of art collaboration over the years.
