It's a symbolic portrait referring to the mythological figure of Ariadne.
Returning with my thoughts to the myth of Theseus and Ariadne
... I see a picture of the terrible Minotaur that the king of Crete locks up in a labyrinth. Could it be that Minos, knowing what the reasons were behind the birth of a monster, wants to hide from himself
and the world the tormenting remorse of his own conscience?
... I see Daedalus - a genius architect, an almost diabolical figure, impartial and faithful to the moral principles of his art, who allows themselves to reveal the psychological motives of the mythical heroes. The same Daedalus, at the request of Minos, creates a maze with no exit,
then equips Ariadne with a ball of thread that leads to freedom.
... I see Ariadne who, driven by her love for Theseus, does not remain
passive.
Is it possible that in order to be with the world, one should turn inward, kill oneself and return the same path, towards unity?
Is it possible that the solution, without which our efforts would prove futile, is so simple and we only need to notice it?
Best quality, linen canvas stretched on wooden frame.

I am. Here and now. Thanks to the consistent effort towards doing what I love - I create. Painting has absorbed me completely, therefore I feel to be one of those lucky human being, for whom hours never seem long. My fascination for a broad spectrum of visual arts makes my creativity unrestricted to one style or form. You will find here elements of realism, figurative art, symbolism or surrealism.
I carry out my ideas both on canvas and wall murals. I observe people - contemplate upon the multitude and diversity of their behaviours and emotions as well as psychological reasons for adaptation to existing conditions. Perhaps this is the reason why people appear in my paintings so often. What attracts me in art is that it is multidimensional. The way it gets filtered by personal experiences (of both the author and the beneficiary) to finally find its place somewhere in the subconsciousness.
