ARTWORKS
The language of art for me is a way to express my feelings and thoughts about the surrounding reality more figuratively and metaphorically.
I’m not interested in reflecting physical reality as it is, I’m interested in it’s interpreting, finding new meanings and forms. In my works I show the essence of things as I see it. The world of my art is subjective, so I hope it will be interesting to the viewer. I work in such techniques as collage, graphics and digital art.
