ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Art is freedom first and foremost. Freedom to express thoughts and feelings, as well as to use different drawing techniques…
In my paintings, I like to create unexpected combinations of materials. For example, combining pencils with watercolors or markers with acrylic… This approach allows you to look at the familiar image of the reality around us in a new way.
The characters in my works are often very emotional, be it people or, for example, dogs… To achieve a certain mood, I use different techniques, from color and tonal contrast to the play of spots and lines.
I also like to show the feelings and thoughts of the characters in my paintings through symbols and signs. They are the ones that carry a certain message and semantic load in each work.
