Artist's Statement:

I believe that an artist, regardless of what they depict or intend to depict, cannot help but experience direct or indirect pressure from the events of their time. Inevitably, the artist's thoughts connected to these events are transmitted onto the canvas. Essentially, if you were to dissect them, my paintings contain a great deal of the personal.

I am an enemy of obvious narratives, so my communication occurs through symbols, colour, and an idiomatic transmission of information. I am fascinated by what the viewer sees without reading the accompanying explanatory texts for a work. This is no less valuable than the author's own message.

One of my primary tools is colour. "With it, I express emotions; through it, I convey meaning. Colour can be used to alter the perception of what is happening on the canvas: the contradiction between colour and semantic choices opens the possibility for other interpretations of the work."

I am profoundly interested in experiments that alter the semantic perception of a work through such seemingly primitive tools as colour and tactility. Changing the habitual, traditional colour, scent, or tactile sensations sends a different signal to the viewer's brain—that is rather amusing. This is precisely what is 'contemporary' — the perception of tradition through its violation.
