"You would say, it is a dedication, patience, focus. But really, it is an inspiration power. Our eye meets thousands of different shapes and forms every day, but there would be one that catches your attention, your time and your mind until you create your story about it. This time it was a gorgonia corral I found in my latest trip to Mexico."

A while ago, I was listening to an interview with scientists on a climate/nature topic, and there was a remark said that visually stuck in my head - Hypothetically, if there were someone millions of years after humans, and they get to cut the Earth crust deep to study layers of the Earth periods, then among layers of soil and rocks, there will be this bright vivid layer of un-decomposed plastic - marking human's civilization. I often wonder what we will leave on this planet after we are gone. Well, apparently, there is some bright side to it.

In this series, I voice my feelings and thoughts on nature awareness, on the human/nature complicated relationship of connection and rejection. Incorporating earthy elements in this series, (such as wood and stones, along with man-made materials), my intention is to create a family of abstract pieces, rich in texture and deep earthy colours.

About this work
We live in a world so defined by climate change and human destruction - by forests burning and glaciers melting, by extinguished species and rising seas - that it's sometimes hard to fathom what an even more dismal future might look like.
It seems like we, humans, do not want to be a part of nature, did we decide to take a separate path? We are on fire. Will we be able to survive past the ashes?

Enthralling my soul with sheer ecstasy
I hear something that you whisper
Very benignly in my ear!"

"Thoughts.... So very many of them, they are running through, inside and out like hi-speed trains. Sometimes they cripple and puzzle mind and start their complicated dances. Trying finding their loose ends or beginnings almost impossible. They are bright and dull, colorful and translucent, they are provocative and calming, each of them radiates its own light and energy. They could create a beautiful shawl if you could use them as yarn. But before, they need to be untangled and unraveled "

"When I was little, I loved to play with other kids in the garden creating little hidden treasures and hiding them in the dirt. We would use little pieces of broken glass, layering them with some colorful shiny objects (as chocolate wrap) at the inner side of the glass and bury those in soil all over the garden. Then we would look for the hidden pieces and carefully wash away top soil layer, exposing shiny glass with hidden object inside.
I always had a thrill while playing that game and I would always remember those memories many years later. It felt magical - to create a little glass window in dirt with something shiny and precious hidden inside..."

About this work
We try to be closer to nature today, we actively go to the woods to hug trees, to lakes and seas to enjoy sunsets. We like to surround ourselves with more nature, more eco-friendly products. We like to think that we are not completely ignorant on this topic, we admit our knowledge in nature and climate related issues. But we prefer life of overproduction, overconsumption, contamination and distraction.
Why we started loving what destroys us?
How we started abusing what creates and cares for us?

"Sleepy horses...what their dreams are about? Snuggled and cuddled in a twighlight haze, they sleepily shake their heads and listen to the whispers of distant stars..."

When I work with trees in my artworks, they have the power to take me to amazing places of creation. They inspire me to see the world through the kaleidoscope prism of beauty and magic.

"Entering the colour world", is a series of paintings where the emphasis is made mainly on colour. I, as an artist, usually do not use a wide color palette in one work, most of my works are created in a chrome restrained manner, mostly in a monochromatic style, where shades and tones prevail over open colors. In the group of these works, my desire and focus were on a bright, lifeful palette, juicy and deep colors. A new style of broad stroke emerged during the work on this series.
