I am a contemporary artist studying the transformation of traditional symbols of European culture
in modern society through classical fine art techniques and mediums. My subject of interest is
always a person and their search for certain points of support in the form of rituals, signs, and
visual forms adapting and confronting rapid changes in human society. I believe childhood is one
of the key periods – when all patterns form, touching the base of our self-identity. I found many
clues in the subconscious world of a young person’s feelings and dreams.
For my paintings, I deliberately select iconographic language as it is the only means I know
powerful enough to communicate on such delicate and deeply hidden matters. I never just portray
children but rather aspire to deliver in an indivisible artistic space all integrity and separation of
the hidden internal world with the environment where a pure young person is located.
If successful, it makes the power of art explicit giving the viewer a unique opportunity to enter
and relive their own childhood experience, contemplate or have a new intimacy of interaction with
the magnificent world of children. Ultimately, it provides me and my viewers space for
development and suggests new symbolic keys allowing better communication with a frightened but
so exciting contemporary world streaming around us.
