Artist statement
"I am fascinated, drawn to, and fulfilled by what I do. " This is how the young artist perceives the world around him — as a task that must be deciphered using the tools of painting."What I want to achieve is to reveal the essence, that is, the purity and authenticity beyond superficial levels of meaning. I work with opposites and contrasts, blending abstraction with the tangibility of the visible world. I draw inspiration from the worlds of music, poetry, and cinema, transferring the principle of selecting images from the world of art to painting."
