Artist Statement

The main theme of my paintings is the fight against mental disorders inside a person and the states associated with it. My artistic practice is based on reflection on my own 12-year experience of living with anxiety-depressive disorder. The paintings depict people who are in a state of struggle with a mental disorder.

The painting depicts people who are in a state of struggle with a mental disorder. In my art, I try to reflect a fragment of the course of a mental disorder snatched out of space. I am trying to fit the process, the long experience of living certain values of states. These states are very deep and not typical for people with a healthy psyche. People are depicted one by one: I share O. Huxley's idea that people are somehow alone in their perception of the world, and we are forced to live all internal events on our own. This series for me is an opportunity to draw public attention to the fight against the stigmatization of mental disorders.
