Artist Statement.
Explore this world, not understanding it's beauty is like reading a book without knowing language, in which
it is written (©).
Most of my projects dedicated to the floral world. I am looking for different interpretations of the visual aspects of plants. And I mean not only external beauty, but also the beauty of inspiration and dreams. And also the power and charm of mystical content, which I can not explain, but feel passion to discover.
