„My works are the confessions about art and life, the metaphors of my own experiences experienced, felt, thought. They talk about the tumult of inner and outer life, about appearance and essence, about love and forgiveness, being silent witnesses of the past, but also guiding the present and the future. Writing, textures, and chromatic tones make up a mapping of the inner world in which ideas of light and hope are born.
Each of my works underlines my belief that: Art heals souls, and our creative actions, whatever their nature, have magical, saving, elevating content.”
