“I choose light, white color and garden as a metaphor for the eternal solitude of man in the world. A metaphor of solitude, where observation of the form and plasticity of light, care of plants become a form of cognition. The white still lifes in my works symbolize the shades of existence, and the light playing on the surface of the glass reflects the fragility of our existence. The three lines of my art merge into one . White color for me is the basis on which I build my compositions. It creates a purity of form that is the perfect canvas for my experiments. Each work of art for me is a journey in which I explore these elements and their interrelationships to create something new and meaningful. Each of my paintings must go through a period of intense emotional immersion, so I work on my paintings for a long time. My painting is built on nuance. Using oil paints and the surface of the canvas, layer by layer I get to the right image.”
