STATEMENT

There is no past and no future. Just our interpretation of it (series “Traces Of Memories”) Even in the present there is not much of reality. I am an artist. And my inner child is my good friend. I paint my life on the canvas so as to please this child (series “Roots”), to say ’thank-you’ to this child for giving me new ideas for my work. My most important muse is music. It is my lighthouse, my salvation and my inspiration. When I paint my favorite music on the canvas I make it tangible. I can touch music which was invisible before. I can look at it and feel it so close as if i am talking to my dear friend (series “Musical collection of keys”).
