"I work in the field of figurative art, exploring the human form, its plasticity, movement and emotional expressiveness. My work aims not only to capture the external aesthetics of the form, but also to reveal its inner essence, where reality is organically intertwined with elements of imagination. I use painting, drawing and collage as means of self-expression. Collage allows me to collect and reconstruct images and situations, opening up space for a free exploration of new meanings. Painting and drawing make it possible to embody ideas in material form, providing a wide field for experimentation and play with various artistic materials. All this helps me better understand the very nature of things"
