I create paintings, expressing my emotions, my world in them. The viewer continues to co-create it, creating their own worlds.

We live in the real world. But sometimes we see things that may not exist. Or it's just another world. A world of fantasy, dreams, visions, visual journeys... It's a different world. Both optimistic and pessimistic. Both making us happy and causing unpleasant sensations. Both taking us to distant worlds and being close - just reach out and you'll touch it, or see it. Even if it seems like it doesn't exist. Or - can't exist.

Along with abstract paintings, I also paint landscapes. They allow me to return to reality, to take a breather from the flights of abstraction. Landscapes are another world where I can express completely different moods and states of my soul.

I love abstract painting. It allows me to think freely and express my emotions. It allows me to create any spaces and images. It allows each viewer to see something of their own in such paintings. And then the viewer becomes my co-creator.

Biography
I paint with oil and acrylic, sometimes using texture paste.
I like to paint abstracts and landscapes, less - seascapes. I really like bright colors that give strength and energy, cause inspiration and just a good mood. Abstraction gives the opportunity to think broadly on certain topics and to embody ideas in the metaphors of painting, and the colors add their expressiveness.
I like this magic. First, a white canvas, on which there is nothing yet; there is the Great White Emptiness.
And then the first stroke, followed by the next, and the next… And there is no Emptiness anymore, Something is born.
And then the process of filling the painting with life, color, strokes. And in the end – here it is: your Creation.

I took part in Spectrum Digital Show at Golden Duck Gallery in May 2025.
It was interesting because there were many - 163 - participants and as a result of the competition 91 winners were selected for the online exhibition. It was nice to be among them because the Golden Duck Gallery cooperates with galleries all over the world to bring new opportunities to see art internationally. The Spectrum Expo is a show that runs simultaneously in New York, Vienna & Budapest to bring art lovers the opportunity to see great art in perfect locations.
