The Universe

This series is multifaceted because not only one main idea was incorporated in it. Allegory of planets and universal phenomena are expressed by female images. The series is aimed at the feelings of the viewer, the knowledge of oneself and one's inner world, the rethinking of truths, the search for enlightenment and the acquisition of spirituality. This is also about the birth of life, and woman as the beginning of life, about the diversity of our Universe and its knowledge, about the planets and their influence on humans, also about humans as the whole Universe! Many works from the series have something in common with astrological concepts about planets and being.

The Inner World of a Woman

In this series of works, images of different women with their diverse inner world are recreated.

Dependent

The created series of paintings tells about the dependence of a person on different values and spheres of life and inspires the viewer to reflect on the mechanism of interaction of modern society, stereotypes of thinking, requirements and evaluative judgments. But immersing myself in stories and reproducing them on the canvas did not bring me closer to the truth of the surrounding world, it only gave me a sense of two-dimensionality and a plane of view, as well as the realization that there is no single evaluative thought, because there is no single solution of the question or the right answer to it.

Masks

Since ancient times, people wore masks on their faces to hide their identities. It was very convenient, especially for those who were in reprehensible relationships or involved in illegal activities. In addition, masks played a very important social role - equalizing all who wore them. People strove for freedom and masks gave it to them. By hiding faces, people could be themselves without pretence. Nowadays people in society also wear masks, but they are imaginary, trying to seem like someone else for various reasons and with different goals. Times change, but hiding the identity with a "mask" stays actual in its application. In this series of paintings, I compare the various images and types of people who find personifications in traditional Venetian masks.

Silhouettes

Stretched on Fiberboard Canvas, Acrylic & Gold Leaf, the series of paintings "Silhouettes" is a play of light and shadow in a portrait. By the minimal artistic mediums it was conveyed the impression of the personages - their character and mood.
