ARTIST VOICE  

My artistic language is based on the study of form as a universal carrier of emotions, symbols and hidden meanings. In sculpture and graphics, I work with abstraction and stylization, striving to make the viewer perceive not so much a specific object, but rhythm, movement and the internal energy of the line and volume.

I strive to generalize and simplify forms for greater compositional expressiveness, endowing them with sensuality and strength.

Part of the search in graphic works are the attributes of women's clothing and accessories - they become a kind of metaphors that I combine with bodily forms. Fabric, folds, details of a suit or jewelry dissolve in the structure of the body, turning into rhythmic elements of the composition. This integration creates a special language, where clothing and the body are no longer opposed, but merge into a single image. Here I see space for research and expression. My works strive to combine monumentality and decorativeness, abstract and sensual, form and its symbolic content.

Transitions, lines and rhythms are important to me, through which movement is born. This is how sculptures and graphic compositions appear, where minimalism is combined with emotional richness, and form turns into a language for conversation about femininity, strength and beauty.
