ARTIST’S STATEMENT
For me art means energy, a journey to the “wonderland” where limits do not exist. It’s a dialouge between color, light and canvas where I can store the vibration and share with the audience. It is a never-ending search for the meaning of something, that is beyond the limits of our capacity to fully describe with language.
I recognize that there is a depth dimension to the world beyond surface appearance, a supreme being, the divine, which connects all living beings. I’m fascinated by the presence and beauty of the universe which is very visible in my work. Nature, the internet, recalls from a dream or a vision from meditation are other visual stimuli for my creativity.
My artwork is characterized by richly textured surfaces, which evoke the dynamic of unfettered motion, color sensations, and light. I synthesize a wide range of mixed media: oil, acrylic, molding paste, etc., which connect into a harmonic composition to create artwork that elicits emotion in the recipient.

The horse has been associated with numerous roles and magical gifts throughout the ages and in all regions of the world where human populations have come into contact with it, making it the most symbolically charged animal
Horses have big energy which can brin your troubles, your negative thoughts about yourself, your struggles, your conflicts, your shadowy hatred of your current situation to retrospection.
Even if you try to hide it and focus on all of the ways you are so perfect, so successful, so in control, a horse will mirror your emotions, your patterns, your behaviors back to you until you are left sitting in a paddock, kicking your angry boots at the world. They are reading you before you have even had time to hide your dark shadows.
Working with horse alchemy, with transformation, you first need to see what you are actually struggling with, what you are actually creating in your life. And for some reason, these big noble, magical horse creatures are just the right ones to show you. With our conscious minds, it is often nearly impossible to see the many ways we create our own destruction. It is maddening.
Horses teach us boundaries. They can help us identify where we have stopped moving or ceased to explore.
Part of the reason that they are so good at teaching this is that they are huge and they have no qualms about taking up space in the world. In a herd, you will see them move each other around with a touch of the nose or a kick. They have big feet. They must be given room to be who they are, but not so much room that they take advantage.
They teach us boundaries within ourselves. You need to know your limit. You will know it quickly with a horse. They also show us that it is okay to share love, and carrots and apples, with those we love. They are sensitive, and have sensitive stomachs and individualized needs. So do we. Horses also can help us identify where we have stopped moving or ceased to explore.

The water flowing in the river, leaves falling from the trees, and the snowflakes melting in the air. It’s all constantly moving and changing. And that’s what life is, too — constant movement and evolution. This includes our thoughts, emotions, and physical surroundings.
By keeping open mind in everyday life help us stay flexible to any changes.
It doesn’t mean that everything will be nice, kind and happy, but rather that we will be able to move from one situation to the other in a smoother way. That no matter how we feel – sad or happy or something else, we’ll be able to acknowledge it, allow it, digest it and move on with a bigger heart and further clarity of ourselves and our surroundings.
There are times in our life when we clearly feel that we are in the flow of life – with ourselves, with our surroundings, with what happens to us and the way we are able to deal with it. As humans, we have the need to be connected, to be in touch – even if we love to have our moments of solitude. We become depressed when we are too isolated and not a part of the world.

"Reverie Behind the Veil" is a profound meditation on the mystery and introspection nestled within nature. The face glancing through the veil of the forest represents an inner journey, one cloaked by the delicate dance of light and shadow.

This ethereal piece speaks of curiosity and the desire to uncover truths hidden behind the natural world's delicate layers. The colors—greens, light yellows, and golds—evoke a sense of renewal, spiritual enlightenment, and the timeless beauty of nature's embrace. The liquid-like portal in the foreground symbolizes the fluidity of perception and the transformative power of introspection. In this artwork, we are invited to experience the serenity and enigmatic depth of a reverie, where the veil of reality gently lifts, revealing the profound connection between the soul and the natural world.

"The Other Dimensions" is a captivating painting that invites us to ponder the mysteries of the universe through a scientific lens. The artist skillfully combines elements of cosmic imagery and abstract forms to create a visual representation of alternate dimensions and the complexities of space-time. The swirling colors and ethereal patterns in the painting evoke a sense of movement and fluidity, reminiscent of the fabric of space itself. The artist's use of acrylic on canvas allows for a vibrant and dynamic portrayal of the subject matter. In the realm of theoretical physics, the concept of multiple dimensions beyond our familiar three spatial dimensions (length, width, and height) has been explored. The painting alludes to the possibility of these additional dimensions, which are hypothesized in theories such as string theory and M-theory. The sphere depicted in the painting represents a celestial object suspended in space, symbolizing the interplay between different dimensions. It serves as a visual metaphor for the interconnectedness of these dimensions and the potential for unseen realms to influence our own. The cosmic backdrop in the painting, with its swirling colors and cosmic dust, hints at the vastness of the universe and the wonders that lie beyond our immediate perception. It sparks curiosity and invites contemplation of the mysteries that may exist in the uncharted territories of space. "The Other Dimensions" serves as a reminder of the intricate and complex nature of our universe, encouraging us to explore the frontiers of scientific knowledge and expand our understanding of the cosmos. It ignites a sense of wonder and curiosity, prompting us to delve deeper into the realms of theoretical physics and the possibilities that lie beyond our current understanding. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the vastness of the cosmos and the infinite potential for discovery that awaits us. It encourages us to embrace the beauty of scientific exploration and to continue seeking answers to the profound questions that lie at the intersection of art and science.
