In my creation process, I use different media: Oil on canvas, collages, acrylic on canvas, and mixed technique: Oil pastels, watercolors, and acrylic on paper. For many years my favorite technique was collages. In order to achieve the richness of the surface, I use textiles, mirrors, wood, photos, and sawdust, and at the end of the creation process, I paint with Oil colors. The picture’s physical body juxtaposes and suffuses each part of the painting and veritably forms jazz of the visual performance.

My inspirations come from travels, music, art, literature, and nature, also from the unknown fields of consciousness and unconsciousness. I usually listen to my inner voice. Another source of my inspiration is my stresses and losses. About 15 years ago I had a very bad period in my life, but I think, all pressures and anxieties regenerated and retransformed my inner into the next level of deeper understanding. In England I discovered a new way how to express myself in the fields of the visual art.

In order to achieve a particular expression and to show the inner and the spirit of the object, I stylize, reshape forms of the nature in my own unique way. All about connections with the objects continuously. Also, I am aiming at the resemblance I am observing nature and objects and transferring into the canvas through signs.

I never stick with one stylistic manner or technique for a long time. I always try to express myself in different ways. Some of my artworks have elements of impressionism, or pointillism, and others - surrealism. But I do not follow any particular stream.
