Artist Statement

Sound of the wind… Touch of the wilderness… View of the open sky… Purity of the spring creek… Calmness of the untouched… Sparkly light dance on the icicle… Composition from the afternoon shadows… Imaginary trace of the falling leaf… Power of the adventurous ocean… Excitement of danger… First sunbeam of morning… Mystic glow of the stormy sky… Unawareness of color…Silence of a special thought…Energy of faith… Stunning rose from a lover... Wisdom of the myth… Sadness of loss…Tears of happiness… Endless roads and the forgotten landscape… Contrast of the new and the old… Wow of the “one of a kind”… Echo of music… Connection of the present and the past… Warmth of home… Place for the beginnings and the endings…

The common factor to all of these: it is my muse, my inspiration. My interpretation and translation of the world is rooted in seeing a unique view of nature, human and nonhuman, reflecting coexisting in harmony.

My art is in the form of drawings, paintings, installations, and mixed media works. In my work, I create 2- and 3-dimensional spaces to listening to our own thoughts and to notice the sound of our own world in its various components. I believe that it is possible to urbanize our planet and still have a “healthy earth” but this requires looking at the world as a whole. I am drawn to the basic elements of nature that might appear as a simple stone, or a tree, or a flower, or a thought, as well as the relationship between nature and time.

There is always change involved in our life because of time. The simple cave, that was a home at the beginning of human existence is appearing in today’s world as a comfortable dwelling to keep us happy. The sound of the simple string has developed into the fabulous symphony to express the harmony of music. The first steps of the toddler are leading us to enjoy the perfection of dance and ballet. All the languages in the world can be used to understand different cultures. The empty fields of wilderness are replaced with cities and parks. The darkness of the unknown is replaced with an expertise in every possible subject through the Internet. To sense the freedom of the wind requires learning to windsurf or skydive. To experience how “making an eagle” makes us feel requires learning to play golf. We can see the unconditional love in the eyes of our pet. We are able to sense the world by traveling long distances in a short period of time.

I also believe that balance is very important in life; and there is a way to find balance by learning what we like, what we value in life, and what has influenced our life. In my art I depict the wonders of our life according to my muse. My personal goal and the message in my art is to encourage viewers to explore more, dream bigger without forgetting to maintain balance in their life.
