Artist Statement

Painting has been my love since childhood, as long as I can remember, I have always drawn, my passion for photography came a little later, and now I’m trying to combine my two favorite things together, creating works at the intersection of fine art and photography. I am interested in blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, so I replaced wooden brushes with electronic ones and paint the reality that I capture through photography with the colors of my mood. In my works I focus on conveying states and emotions, searching for philosophical meaning in seemingly ordinary things. This is my way of communicating with the outside world.
