Sea expanses as a metaphor for internal transformation: the interaction of color, light and emotions. My sea is not a physical element, it is a space where deeper processes, internal searches and struggles that I feel unfold. It is a metaphor for cognition, transformation and even for maintaining balance in life. The sea is a symbol of strength, indomitability, freedom. The sea gives happiness, calls into its spaces, awakens energy, gives a feeling of absolute beauty and harmony. It is alive, deep as the human soul, dynamic and unpredictable. The sea lives according to its own laws, it not only hides, but also speaks! It returns fragments, bones, treasures and stories. Water is movement and memory. If I were asked to describe the creative process from the very beginning of working on a painting, I would say that first various sensations arise, which gradually become concrete and a clear image emerges in the imagination. I strive to logically depict what is initially intuitive, emotional, subconscious. It was Marenism that became the tool for expressing my feelings, reactions to the present. Through colors, I tried to remind of the importance of spiritual values - love, creativity, altruism, honor, high morality and dignity. The reproduction of light and space became for me a symbol of faith in beauty, kindness and hope for a bright future.

My advantage is that I am a self-taught artist. In order to reach the professional level that I have at the moment, I constantly analyze everything that surrounds me: the works of artists of all times and eras, the basics of painting, the laws of physics, the structure of the universe, nature, people.
