ARTIST’S STATEMENT
The process of creating my work is an organic one. The history and time of the creation of each art piece are crucial to me, and I keep the impulse of the emergence of an idea till the last brush stroke. My paintings seek to capture a fleeting moment or emotion while celebrating the joy of making.
Whether making a painting or drawing, I allow the elements I create to ‘appear’ on the surface of the canvas or paper.
My approach is mainly intuitive; the paintings unfold and develop almost of their own accord, and I aim to invite the viewer to find an emotional connection within the painting.

The Creation Code: Code 7 is a visual question about spirit and matter, the beginning and the end, that transcends the boundaries of paint and canvas. This painting is a portal into the subconscious, co-creation, and a kaleidoscopic meditation on the balance between randomness and purpose in the cosmos.

A subtle interplay of vibrant hues of this painting " The Creation Code: Code 3" suggests the meticulous strokes of a celestial artist, leaving behind a trail of questions that echo through the corridors of the mind.

This art features a vibrant abstract painting with a rich tapestry of colors and forms. The color palette is diverse, consisting of bold reds, deep blues, sunny yellows, and softer shades like lilac and light green, creating a striking contrast. The composition is characterized by a dynamic interplay of shapes and lines; some areas have larger, rounded forms, while others are filled with intricate swirls and loops that intertwine and overlay each other. This amalgamation of colors and shapes gives the impression of movement and energy, as if the elements within the canvas are in a state of flux. The use of bright colors against a backdrop of both warm and cool hues adds depth to the piece, engaging the viewer's eye and inviting.

This is my the second artwork from the series “Summer holidays. Nostalgia for childhood”, in which I try to dive deeper into the topic of nostalgia for childhood, inviting the viewer on a journey through time and generations. Building on the cheerful essence of the previous work, the canvas now reflects a deeper exploration of family ties and the continuity that binds generations. I continue to work with bright and optimistic shades, filling the picture with an undeniable feeling of joy and warmth. Reminiscent of sun-warmed memories, these vibrant hues dance across the canvas, inviting us to remember the carefree days and blissful summers of our youth. The smudges ( flow) of paint take on a profound significance, transcending mere accidental elements. They are symbolic of the fluidity of time itself, where the essence of each generation flows and intertwines, leaving behind a unique and vibrant hue. As the canvas captures the passage of time, it becomes a poignant reflection of the impermanence and beauty of life's journey.

It is the third installment of the series "Summer Holidays: Childhood Nostalgia, "I am continuing my journey through time, thinking about family ties and the enduring legacy of generations past.
For me, the painting becomes a window into the interconnectedness of the past, present, and future, where the brushstrokes of each era converge, intertwine, and leave an indelible mark on the life narrative.
The painting has the same color palette with bright and vibrant colors as previous paintings of this series. The layers of color and texture echo the complexity of human existence, where triumphs and tribulations intermingle, and life's rich tapestry unfolds in all its beauty.
Each element was carefully arranged, and the composition takes on a compelling symbolism. At the center of the canvas stands a family( two boats), generations united, bound by the thread of time. The brushstrokes that form the elders' figures are laden with reverence and respect, embodying their vital support as the pillars of wisdom and guidance for the family's younger members. The support and love bestowed by the oldest generation become the bedrock on which our achievements and happiness are built.
Reflecting on the continuity between generations will inspire you to cherish and honor the wisdom passed down from those who came before us.

Emotions are essential part of our identity are but can sometimes be messy, complicated, and downright confusing at time. Knowing how to name, observe, express, and talk about emotions is vital to developing emotional health. Each my painting in series of Emotional Metamorphosiscould explore a specific emotion, capturing its evolution and depth through the interplay of color and form. From the initial spark to the crescendo of intensity, these artworks reflect the ever-changing landscape of human feelings. It is a my peregrination in transformative emotions through abstract art.
