About artist
I am an artist who discovered painting in 2016 - since then, it has become an inseparable part of my life. I hold a degree in renewable energy engineering and work as a software engineer, so my daily routine is often highly analytical and logical. That is precisely why I use painting as a space to let my creative side run free.
In my art, clear boundaries between reality and dream often dissolve. I aim to “add new shades to reality” - I distort the human body, remove the face, or give figures unusual forms. Through my art, I often strive to make the human body itself become something celestial.
I create using acrylic paint, but my tools are not limited to that - beyond brushes, I also use palette knives, sponges, and various construction or household tools. Experimentation is an essential part of my creative process, allowing me to discover unexpected textures, forms, and surfaces.
