" Мои pictures - is a synthesis of several styles: art-деко, surrealism and symbolism. I work in an oil environment. Positive existentialism - this is my philosophy, which I try to convey to the audience. My interests relate to the uniqueness of the human individual. I"m trying to work on a scale that is close to the real size of a person in order to create the most durable and the strongest emotional connection with my viewers. In my work, I strive to create a new reality, where the inner world of the human soul is projected onto the outer world and forms his.

I use the language of symbols. Symbolism in my art allows to put in one picture multiple messages and thereby greatly increase the number of options of interpretation, because I"m trying to avoid to convey one particular message. In our world, our souls may suffer from self-destruction, loneliness and stress. All these negative elements can be treated with the help of light and творчества".
