I am interested in various aspects of human existence. In the process of searching for answers to questions, I study work on the history of art, psychology, esotericism, etc. Fiction occupies is a special place in my life.
I believe that the images that appear to us in the visual arts must contain the mental energy of the author himself. The images in my works are not someone's portraits or plots, they are a kind of clot formed in remote areas of the unconscious. Depicting the images that come to me, I enter into a dialogue with myself, giving shape to the vague mental images by the color and plastic material.

In its ideal embodiment, the picture (like kinds of art) should play the role of a drum for the shaman, contributing to the dissolution, melting of the ego.

I constantly experiment in the process of creating works, I am in search of new forms and ways of expression.
