The world is a very complicated place. Everyone plays their role hung in
time continuum.

I am trying to show that in my work.

Circus paintings reflect my thought about illusive happiness.

Works with prewar shtetls are very close to my heart. It's a lost forever
world a world I have created in my imagination although I have never seen
it. We are wanderers upon this earth of our, we wander through time in
hope
of better tomorrow.

I love life, people and all living creatures.

I am grateful for every passing day and admire our magnificent world every
single day.
