Art will always be the mirror of contemporaneity. It allows the audience a general perception of reality via the individual prism of each of its members. It succours the realization and assessment of the constant transformation around us. My objective as a visual artist is to direct the audience’s attention to the internal transformation of the modern person, which leads to external ones affecting everything around us.

"Miles of Silence" is inspired by the music of Abdullah Ibrahim - Blue Bolero and is about my personal inner journey.

A painting dedicated to everyone around the globe who has endured or is enduring turmoil of both external and internal conflicts.

"The Prayer of Love" is a painting that captures the invisible force within us called LOVE. It illustrates how the feelings and emotions we experience can make us extraordinarily brave, joyful, or vulnerable.

Recognizing yourself in someone else's creation can stir up emotions and insights. It makes you feel understood and connected, fostering empathy and deepening your bond with the creator. This recognition can lead to self-discovery, personal growth, and creative inspiration as you reflect on your own experiences.

The painting is inspired by a beautiful song of #HAEVN "The Sea".

Dedicated
To dreams we live and the lives we dream.
To jellyfish moments that burn our souls.
To cascading choices of right or wrong.
To paths not followed before.
To invisible forces guiding our fate.
To us floating on the currents of time.
To hope, love, and the stream that in the end always takes us home.

"A Northern Fairy Tale”. captures my northern experience. The birches, which I enjoy observing while walking through Kivi Park; the mesmerizing Northern Lights, which left me breathless a few years ago when I attended a concert in Sudbury, ON; the Spring as a woman dressed in light and flower motives inspired by the Eastern European folklore. Spring is peeking behind the thick heavy curtain of the winter showing the viewer of what the future could bring. The boat in the lake represents time and its constant movement reminding us that everything in life is temporary.

"Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true-ooh-ooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that's where
You'll find me"
Harold Arlen / E.y. Harburg

It is the pain, blood, and suffering of mining, the dark side of the golden coin for which hundreds of souls reach out by diving into the bottomless S udbury mines, that outshines the glimmer of gold. It is the commitment, resolve and serenity of these earthly heroes, who accept their fate plunging into uncertainty to better the lives of their families that weighs more than gold itself. I t is the losses of those on whose shoulders we succeed today that remain forever beyond the grasp of gold. This is painting is for them.

"The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention."
Francis Bacon

Frédéric Chopin / Nocturne No. 20

Stand tall,
above envy and resentment,
above petty gossip.
Rise up, rise high,
so I can see you.

Stand tall,
above everything today,
you, my blue-eyed love,
the stars are stars,
because they shine from above.

To see you – stand tall.
To see you – above petty gossip.
To see you – above everything today.
