Independently from technical aspects, my artworks are almost abstract internal landscapes, grounded in individual experience of surrounding world. They are also related to the landscape's visions preserved in the culture. Although no one appear in my landscapes, they are stories about human being, concentrate on mental, emotional condition, soul sphere and relationships. Feelings, states and attitudes, which I show in my works, are based on personal experiences, but I believe that they have universal dimension.
