Painting enables me to directly explore my inner world of thoughts, feelings, imagination and creativity, which keeps me connected to my innermost truth, my North Star. Through art I found who I was and what my life was all about.

Any creative work activates a variety of mental and physical faculties for me with such complexity and nuances that I can’t experience otherwise, and it opens the door to a more spacious, buoyant and free-spirited state of mind where the ordinary processing with logic and reason stops its monopoly and starts to work in harmony with this crystal clear, expanded, serene and higher state of mind.

There is always something deep inside of me that asks to be expressed as art, and watercolor happened to be a perfect medium. Its transient nature is hard to control so I need to work with it like I’m running alongside it. The route it takes is always not the one I know and expect, but that’s the most exciting part for me as it takes me to the new:surprises and discoveries. I’m always curious to see what will unfold.

Imagination and creativity for me are the foundation of my life. Curiosity is the driving force of my work, which leads me to finding excitement and beauty everywhere even in dried up leafs at the end of the season. Art for me is essential for living proactively and making sense of my life. I find it most fascinating when colors and shapes interact with each other and start to come alive. Witnessing such simple elements becoming more than what they are separately is a moment of magic, and that’s the power of creativity.

The internal world is not limited by time, space and the body. Whenever I go deep within or just even think about this amazing dimension, I get the sense of absolute peace and freedom. Everything is perfect regardless of all the problems and difficulties in and around me. I simply can’t stop expressing what is inside, and that’s how I stay connected to the true nature of me, and live with purpose, meaning and passion. Art is the highest expression of my self discovery journey that never ends.
