Intention and about works. Intention behind my artwork is to visualize
a relationship between unconsciousness and mind of a human. Resulting from this
conflict that always accompanies human existence my paintings suggest a new, more
intuitive and emotional level of perception. I explore form through texture and
try to bring it to a wider, sculptural dimension.

| Artist Statement. Form is the dominant concern in my figurative
paintings -- form freed from space in a self-contained essence of personalized
emotional experience, carrying the sculpted reflection of human passion from apathy
and decay, to obsession and fever. |
