“Art has always been at the top of the pyramid of values. The artifacts left by countless creative generations, carrying all the love, emotions, and meaning for themselves, are at the core of our value accumulations.
I am inspired by everything, philosophy, music, nature, mythologies, beauty, and ugliness, good and bad, such as our lives, a symbiosis, a kaleidoscope of all this, a “game of glass beads” (according to Hermann Hesse), a utopia, “Puzzle-installation,” which we call “life” for short. Art is a direct proof of real life on our suffering planet, and in this aspect are my attempts, in search for a universal code of modern man, defining his global presentiments and hypotheses, the direction of the high and beautiful flights of the imagination.

Our main work as artists is with ourselves; self-knowledge in the process of creation, ennobled by good energies, which are the artist’s most important tool. “Making” art is a unique and challenging activity associated with the most intimate mental and intellectual vibrations and requires exceptional dedication and conviction. It gives, in its specific way, personal freedom along with the commitment to creativity. One cannot afford to lie and speculate on emotions and ideas in an area in which honesty and high values. This is always visible and transparent through form and analysis, no matter how well disguised.”
