Artist Statement
My art is primarily about finding myself in this world. About mystical power of self-knowledge and harmony, which is so rare these days. About subtle feelings, eternal questions and inter conflicts. I’m not afraid to expose myself in front of the audience and I prefer to be reather than to seem.
