Artist statement

I am an artist who over the years tried my hand in various art mediums. In my pursuit for the art education, I participated in numerous master classes, drawing school and technique courses. Currently, epoxy resin, acrylic and ink are my favorite materials. I feel they provide endless opportunities for experimentation with colors, textures and visual effects; they give an artist a lot of freedom, while also teach to surrender to the force of unpredictable chemical reactions and let them cooperate while creating the art piece.. When the mood calls for more structure, I use pastels to create dreamy drawings, inspired by nature and beauty I see in the simplicity of the everyday life. Being a kinesthetic person, I love that both mediums allow me to draw and paint using my fingers along with chalks and brushes. My love of colors leads me to learn more how colors impact personalities. I believe that colors can help people to experience different feelings, thoughts, understand themselves better. I hope that looking at my paintings/drawings you can feel inspiration, happiness and find your inner peace...
