My work is based on myth-making, I am especially attracted to the idea of ​​personal mythology and working with fantastic plots. The main theme of my work is the study of otherness and the life of other selves in society. Frames, rules and generally accepted norms are the realities that we encounter daily, but we interpret them differently, based on our own experience and courage. The heroes of my works tell the viewer their story of the struggle for personal boundaries and opinions, for individuality and the right to remain themselves. I work in different media, from painting to performance. The choice of materials for me is not random, but directly related to the plot of the picture and the nature of my characters. Color and composition strive to emphasize the main line of the narrative and reveal the emotional states of the characters. Sincerity, metaphorical images and a variety of artistic techniques are the basis of my author's statement.
