“There is no past and no future. Just our interpretation of it (series “Traces Of Memories”) Even in the present there is not much of reality. I am an artist. And my inner child is my good friend. I paint my life on the canvas so as to please this child (series “Roots”), to say ’thank-you’ to this child for giving me new ideas for my work. My most important muse is music. It is my lighthouse, my salvation and my inspiration. When I paint my favorite music on the canvas I make it tangible. I  can touch music which was invisible before. I can see it and feel it so close as if i am talking again to my dear friend who has long gone   (series “Musical collection of keys”).

"My artworks is about how in the Universe everything is part of one Whole. Everything matters. Small things are always part of something bigger; dreams and fantasies are part of the real world; and the past, present and future are interrelated and sometimes interchanged.”
