“I work with different materials. For the last year I have been working and experimenting a lot with ceramics. This material gives me more freedom and helps me to express my thoughts more clearly. Being able to add color to a sculpture, I think, completes its concept in a more coherent way. It is important for me to be able to put aside excessive academicism, to keep in my head all the experience I have gained, to make sincere and lively works. In sculpture I am interested in creating a separate space. For me it is a kind of scenography. Just as children play with soldiers and dolls, learning about the world, so I explore it through objects and my characters. I am not only interested in the individual, but also in society as a whole. In my works, society is experienced through art, becomes the source of destruction or oppression of a particular character, does not notice a looming threat, and is the bearer of a cultural code. Man and society. The artist and the viewer. Man and culture, traditions. Man and man. Society and the world. These are the themes I discuss in my art.”
