ARTIST’S STATEMENT
“In Art, I create complexity of feelings through a simple subject matter. It is poetry in colours and textures. I create spaces where one can wander slowly among silhouettes and shapes, forgetting about the world’s fast beat for a while. Nature is my forever muse and inspiration, as an Artist, I can’t express myself better than in Her language.”

When you are experiencing humbling change and feeling resistless to what you are becoming... When petals of your soul start trembling through this metamorphic changes and you become lighter, softer and more intuitive to your surroundings.... You are becoming the new beginning, the new extension to your greater one, the one who knows how to live with love for yourself"

"It's All In Us"
("When Earth Calls" series)
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 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?

Years ago during snorkelling in Mexico I had a unique chance of witnessing circling school of fish in the water. I was stunned by the captivating movement of hundreds of silver fishes, they were just going around and around and around in their amazing nirvana dance...I was watching them for what seemed like ages, hypnotized. They were one whole moving force, powerful and fragile, all as one following this invisible line, creating a perfection in their performance.

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.
