What do you aim to say by the themes in your art?
My art is evolving incessantly. The way which I use to visualize scenarios and depict it onto the canvas or on paper is changing. By the time, the use of colors is getting complex and the way thoughts are illustrated and getting even more intricate.
I try to do masterful manipulation of light and dark and the fluidity of forms, seem like a pictorial portrayal of music sonata. I depict my dreams and imagination in a symphony of color palette, that burst out of the canvas or paper with the emotional force of the spring.
Where does your inspiration come from?
From the beginning, I was more interested in man and human life, something that continues to this day. I remember my first exhibition, was young artists exhibition up to 18, I was the youngest who took part, only 6 years old. This was the beginning of the way as an artist.
