When I first went to the vast plain steppe, I wondered why our city air is not as crisp and fresh as here. The answer was the flora you won’t find in the city - the wild plants and exotic flowers create such aroma in the air. I wanted to recreate those flowers in my room, with a brush on my canvas. I draw them in abstract form, to capture and preserve them in their time of bloom and blossom, sadly aware of the eventual next stage of their life cycle.

Since I get the tips and clues for my art from the rhythms of nature and people, I like to travel to experience the different paces of life, to immerse and feel myself in contrast to the tempo in my own country.

I try to transcend to my audience the “colorhythm” of flowers, to let my viewers feel the unique essence particular to my blooms. I also hope my art motivates my audience to think about preserving nature, to nurture Mother Earth as long as we can … and that is my WHY as an artist.
