"I love to paint and draw from my childhood. There are so many
interesting things in our world. So many shapes, colours,
characters and situations. Each one has its meaning I try to discover
in drawing. Cormorants on a floating tree branch, sea lapping under
the moon, children play... All is in harmony. Except of
our attitudes, in my opinion.
I consider art as a chance to be honest and devoted disciple of Nature. I love to paint and I seek a melody on a canvas that thaws human heart."
