I am a figurative artist working in the style of naive art, I talk about my travels and the transformation of my personality in the perception of this world, which occurred throughout my journey.

Most of my work is devoted to the culture of peoples, exotic traditions, and local identity. Through my paintings I reflect the unique diversity of this world, conveying a sense of beauty through colours, using authentic motifs, ornaments and patterns, original visual forms inherent in national symbolism.

Another part of the work is devoted to self-determination, self-identification, manifesting individuality of self-expression through one’s attitude to world problems. And in this context, I reveal the problem of accepting one’s individuality in all possible diversity of this world.

My personal collection includes paintings from Indonesia, India and Morocco. Now the paintings I created are sent to travel around the world. Each of my paintings is a story told on canvas, and behind this story are people’s lives that evoke passion and spark interest in life.
