Untitled, 2007

The darker oval in the lower part is an eye of the artist.The artist is different from other people, because s/he sees differently. S/he notices things that other don't see. Even in earthy, brown, dark place s/he always looks for hope(blue) and purity(white). And even when the artist's creation(the tree-like structure in the lower middle) includes pain (burgundy lines), it is used to cure the disease.

Cliff House, 2007

This is an old house on the cliff overlooking small sea inlet.The house is so old, it seems like a part of landscape. It immerses into the environment. The house is full of see. You can see the water almost from any point inside the house. Even the theme of the interior decor is maritime. Despite that the structure is almost dissolved, it protects you and what you call home - the house, the cliff and the lagoon (the doubled lines running along the top and the right edges).

Coral Series # 19, 2006

You meet someone. S/he is attractive, funny and smart. You two are having a good time. Everything is fine, rosy, fresh green. The skies are blue. You are starting to build a relationship. Then the arguments start. The conflicts lead to a breakup, which was messy and painful.

Untitled

This is Sea. It is always moving. It is always changing. In the open sea there is nothing, only water(blue, grey), skies(blue, grey) and the whites of wave crests and sails. There are promises of exotic lands that you are going to see (stains of other colors). But those destinations are not the ends, they are means to motivate you. The journey is the ends. The purpose is to challenge yourself, to see if you are capable to do it.
