"I cannot conceive of myself apart from painting. It's more than a job or a hobby — art is my life. My first memories from childhood are connected with drawing, my dreams revolve around traveling, visiting museums and learning the art of painting. My greatest achievements lie in capturing the essence of different states and evoking the moods my paintings create.
I travel extensively, and each new place leaves its mark on me. Whether I find myself amidst mountains or by the sea, observing nocturnal streets or morning rain, I discover inspiration for my creative process. Anything can become an impetus: the delicate veins on a leaf, a glimmer on a car window, a majestic landscape, or a sudden smile from a passerby. I like to jest that I have a camera built inside me that captures these moments on film. Then, in my inner laboratory, these shots manifest themselves onto the canvas."
