I am in front of the canvas creating a colorful image, materializing a visual idea. I am separate from the surrounding physical world even if it doesn’t seem like it. I am completely calm and balanced, I don’t miss anything. I am in a different reality… As a child with closed eyes is hidden from everyone, so I am also hidden in my painting.

What is around me when I open my eyes and who am I? Introvert who was moved to another country, without friends and family, without a place to live and a solid job, loses healthy self-esteem.

With my painting, I convey a feeling of peace and well-being, I create a pleasant relaxation. Does anyone need to experience this liberating feeling in a hectic time, does anyone need my paintings? Are they useful and helpful?

On this planet with billions of people, how many of us are lost, alone, and sometimes without hope for tomorrow? I’m grateful for what I have but you will speak up when you’re alone. Art should bring people together, and awaken the inner beauty that everyone has inside. Human life is too short to spend it doubting in a closed circle of negative thoughts.
