Cell
The series «Cell« draws primary inspiration from the underwater world, where creatures appear suspended, weightless, and undefined. Much like these aquatic forms, my work embodies freedom, innocence, and primitivism, embracing an organic release that connects deeply to the purity of nature. The fragmented shapes within the composition are organic and fluid, curved, bent, and alive. I am particularly drawn to curved forms because they evoke a sense of motion and transformation, reflecting a constant state of flow. These dynamic shapes seem capable of shifting into something entirely new, embodying tension and serenity, much like the underwater world. They can feel congested or tranquil, mirroring the complexity and rhythms of life beneath the surface.
Ancient portraits are embedded within the intricate layers, barely visible yet present. These faces reference history and the passage of time, suggesting something fossilized, unearthed from a distant past. They evoke a sense of timelessness, as though they are echoes of an ancient, organic world. I aspire for my work to feel like a fossil, a preserved yet living artifact, speaking to the viewer with whispers of history and transformation.
The series captures the dynamic interplay of life beneath the surface, using layers and fragments to evoke the interconnectedness of the aquatic ecosystem. By merging fluid, organic forms with subtle historical elements, «Cell« creates a space where nature’s complexity, transformation, and timeless essence converge.

Piece
In the series showcased at my solo exhibition, I aimed to portray the harmony between
humans and nature, particularly emphasizing the interconnectedness with flowers. The imagery extends beyond mere forms and colors, suggesting a symbiotic relationship in which humans and nature complement each other.
Through the lens of improvisation, I explored the idea of transcending conventional flower shapes, allowing for a deeper connection. The cohesion and continuity of nature and its components have always fascinated me, inspiring me to delve into more expansive works on
canvases. The exploration of the interplay between humans and the natural world is a recurring theme that sparks my ongoing interest in capturing the inherent connection and unity within the intricate tapestry of nature and its various elements.

Fertility
In my art, I’m captivated by the woman’s body, especially the symbolism of the Venus shape and sculptures like the Venus of Willendorf. I depict women as powerful, highlighting their struggles and resilience in the pursuit of freedom throughout history. This portrayal delves into the complex nature of the female experience, moving beyond stereotypes to capture strength and
challenges over time.
Emphasizing women’s struggles adds a socio-political dimension, advocating for
understanding and appreciation. I also explore the meaning of motherhood and its connection to nature, grounding my work in the biological aspects of womanhood and broader themes of life and growth. This holistic portrayal creates a rich visual narrative that reflects the realities and complexities of women’s lives.

Meadow
Exploring the dynamic forms and potential eroticism of flowers, which symbolize beauty and life, creates a nuanced connection between humans and nature. The sensuality of flowers
provides a rich space for artistic expression, inviting exploration of emotions and relationships.
