About my artwork

Several themes in my art: the relationship between women and men, the theme of emotional wound, the theme of childhood.
The childhood theme awoke from the old photos, where the kids were posing before the camera with their favourite toys. Painting of children is related to the sacred themes in art ( Virgin Mary with a Child, The Holly Family). Children tend to imitate traditions, rituals and everyday situations of the adult world. That is why the images in my works are both child and adult image. The philosophical perception of ordinary life situations with their controversies, passions and weaknesses is seen in my works. I am convinced that good art makes people think.
