My Statement

I believe that a valuable work of art is the one that has been born in the depths of the Universe, and is touching our minds and souls and awakening new patterns. Painting, much like poetry should be a product of love and beauty, the philosophical perception of life and subconscious human emotions. It should be noble and pure- as one’s belief in sacredness; deep and unfathomable- as the Universe itself; and light and bright-as one’s soul.

I think that the presence of intellectual and ideological properties in a composition is important; it makes the work interesting from the perspective of scientific studies, since art and science are intertwined.

If one has succeeded in understanding and experiencing the supreme harmony and in following its rules during the creative process, one’s work will transcend generations and time, since harmony, much like Universe, is eternal…

The voices of our intuition and our subconscious self that live in every one of us need to be ‘heard’. That will help in finding answers to those questions, which have been left unanswered even by our logic. I try to grasp the mechanisms that operate energies of our brains and souls, and to understand the energy of nature’s invisible forces and of the mechanism of life, and then try to reflect those in my paintings. I paint praying, and pray by painting in my imagination.

The TWO series, has a very significant place in my work; it is a mystical combination, which for me is a beginning, continuation and a path for eternity. TWO can be interpreted in different ways-starting with the relationship between a man and woman, and up to the relationship between people and the Universe (the latter subject has always excited my imagination).

Three energies-psychological, spiritual and sexual-combined, turn into a creative energy. The latter, if directed correctly, can contribute to the creation of wonderful works of art. True art is the reflection of the artist’s emotional experiences on canvas. Any subject, if created with such emotional investment, becomes interesting and important.
