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.

"Illusion: Whimsical Foliage Dance" part of the series "Summer Holiday: Childhood Nostalgia"
Illusion: Whimsical Foliage Dance is an invitation to step into the radiant world of childhood, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and each moment is a masterpiece of color and wonder. It's a nostalgic journey back to the summers of our youth, a reminder that the magic of those days still lives on in our hearts.
Sunlight glistens on the dragonfly's iridescent wings, casting a radiant glow that feels almost otherworldly. The child's tiny hands reach out to collect fallen leaves, each one a treasure in their eyes.
A shadow creeping across a familiar sidewalk suddenly becomes a mysterious path leading to uncharted territories of imagination. The play of light and shadow on a plain wall can evoke emotions and narratives that were previously hidden.
These simple acts are a testament to the boundless happiness that can be found in the smallest of details.

'Illusion: Chromatic Fantasy' invites viewers to step into the radiant world of childhood, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and each moment is a masterpiece of color and wonder.
The chromatic palette of this painting bursts forth with cheerful vibrancy, mirroring the exuberance of a carefree summer day. Colors meld and blend, creating an illusion of movement and life in every canvas corner. It's a celebration of the endless possibilities and enchantments that exist within the world of a child's imagination.
Painting is made in an abstract style.
A funny fact about abstract art is that you can "accidentally hang it upside down and may discover a new viewpoint in the painting. It's like having a whole gallery in one room!

In creating this vibrant tapestry of colors and shapes, I wanted to explore the chaotic yet harmonious nature of human emotions and thoughts. Through abstract and geometric forms, I layer acrylics to capture a whirlwind of feelings that collide and coexist. This painting embodies the rhythm of life, encouraging viewers to embrace the complexity and beauty of their own emotional landscapes. It is a celebration of the mind's boundless journey, destined to energize any space with its dynamic spirit.

This piece is part of my ongoing "Emotional Metamorphosis" series, a collection that delves into the various facets of emotional change. 'Lines of Illusion' specifically explores the positive side of this transformation, where confusion and growth give way to clarity and renewal.
I focused on the uplifting, life-affirming aspects of emotional change, almost childlike in their innocence and optimism, when everything feels new and full of potential. The surface of the canvas reflects this duality. Some lines are raised, creating a three-dimensional effect through a combination of thin layers of spray paint and thick applications of paint marker, bringing texture and depth to the composition.
Each line and dot symbolizes the elusive yet transformative moments of clarity that often emerge from life's intricate illusions. This transformative power of the artwork inspires you to seek clarity in your own life.

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. Is the universe a product of chance, or does it follow an intricate code, a blueprint of divine orchestration? Is the chaos a new order? Or are they opposite, like white and black?
The use of organic shapes and lines creates a sense of depth and space, prompting the viewer to focus on the relationship between the arrangement and its surroundings.
The interlocking shapes and the lively background influence the viewer's perception of the composition's stability, challenging the viewer's perception of balance and form.
