I found my artistic expression during my studies, and my first expressions became abstract paintings, which usually takes a complex research of Fine Arts along with personal growth. I knew from the very beginning what I wanted in my art, and I am still following this path. I don`t need to ask what instead, I am constantly completing the answers on how. Over the years of artistic creation, many cycles have formed in my work. I present the Urban troughs cycle for which I take ideas and motifs from everyday life, yet even from a more primary state of being. I was always fascinating where the plants find conditions for growth, … The paintings from the Urban Throughs cycle represent both human order and limitation in defining space for oneself and others (including troughs) and the possibility of boundlessness as taken by nature, in the case of the depiction in the paintings, urban plants. I am a person who tries to feel the media of my creation. Allows the media to interact and gives them a role in the art area. Colour and texture are elementary in my work; the technique that suits me best is acrylic and collage on various foundations (paper, wood, canvas). The inner structure of my paintings is serene and playful; the playfulness is in the dialogue between satiation and emptiness, colour and foundation, variations of realistic to less realistic, almost abstract parts and elements… I placed the pieces right where they have to be to serve every artistic legality.
