My artwork is a result of the inner necessity and strong fundament of academic education. I went through a great school, where I had the honor to learn from amazing teachers and artists. This school gave me the chance to realize that one should never stop unachieved. And my inner necessity agreed with it with pleasure. So I embarked on a journey and continue moving on the verge of every possible art movement in the incredible and intangible world of Art. Dissatisfaction is a sacred but exceptionally professional trait that is present in every artist. It is exactly the trait that urges us to move. And by immersing yourself in the ocean of Art, you are sailing forward, and you define your own lighthouses in it. You are sailing in an infinite space without time and any coordinates. Your boat is an ambition, your sail is an inspiration, your helm is the Beauty. You meet islands and whole continents on your way, and you can shore on the tide without restrain. But it doesn’t matter how beautiful heaven is if it is a foreign one. You notice something and sail away in search of your own isle. Even if a little and inconvenient one, but uninhabited isle. You feel the power of the Creator in you and nurse your dream on your way. The visible is certainly important to us, but what is it without the judgment of the Creator? Nothing. What arises without a judgment? Nothing. What arises without the senses? Nothing and the absence of senses is insensitivity. The task of the artist lies in the cocreation with the Greatest Architect of the universe. The artist is His creation, and he is empowered with this gift himself. He learns how to use it in his way, and upon reaching his island, he will be creating his own world. The value of his world is obvious. Collect all my paintings together – it is my selfportrait, my way, all my life, all that I saw and dreamt of, this is what I left aside and what I acquired, it is You, all who I knew and who is unknown to me. It is It – the Beauty, the one which I sensed once and could not manage to forget.
