My life, my joy, and my work are my creativity. In my paintings, I want to show the incredible beauty of life in all its diversity. The beauty and grace of a person in this complex crazy world. I want to imprint the ephemeral paints of instants of life in the endless stream of time, human passions and griefs, reckless love and burning hatred, the melancholy of loneliness and wild gladness, sorrow, and merriment.

I believe that paintings are windows to another reality, in a World where a person can be free from any conventions. There, a person can be happy. I appreciate the feedback from the audience. Because paintings without spectators look like bright exotic birds hidden behind a high fence from human eyes. There, in solitude and longing, their voiced voices become deaf, and the bright cheerful feathers fade.

My artworks are in private collections around the world.

In life and creation, my motto is the winged Latin saying: «Dum spiro, spero».
