“Visual art is not a medium of words. Moreover, when one changes language, soil, and surroundings, all that is left is color and metaphors. Fortunately, they are universal. Painting is my way of communicating with the world, and people in it, no matter the country.”
Artist Style: Visual: Dream Imagery/Ethereal, Surrealistic, Symbolic
In my work I look through layers and masks of everyday reality and try to find true sorrow, grace and fragility of the human heart.
