"My profession is connected with applied art, but I was able to realize myself in painting, the artist says. I like to "catch" the energy of the environment and perpetuate it with the help of paints. The very process of working on a canvas is the most interesting for me, and the source of inspiration is everything that surrounds us. Life is a picture, the author of which is each of us, creating our own small universe with our own hands."
