ABOUT THE ARTIST

Art, from the higher dimensions of consciousness, is to carry information to the Earth; It is to enlighten people with the light you carry. A work sometimes takes you to other worlds. Who knows, maybe it connects with the places where it existed before it was born and where it will exist after death. People don't necessarily come to life to be happy. He is here to experience, to learn, to ultimately realize himself, and to offer the world the gift he has brought from the lands beyond, even if it is painful. Psychologists and educators call it self-actualization, religious teachings call attainment, Greek philosophers call self-knowledge. Art is the eight-pointed star that always shines on your head on this journey. It warms, enlightens, guides, becomes a companion, brings it to the truth. Art speaks of universal, (or divine, depending on your point of view) beauty, and brings that beauty to the world. Universal beauty is found in both darkness and light. To see, you need to squint your eyes and purify yourself from the worldly. My artistic adventure started at a very young age. When I was a young child, it was clear from my soul, my words, my dress, my actions and my interest in art that I was an artist. However, it took many years for it to become professional and for me to realize that I was actually an artist. First, I wrote books. These books have been published by various publishing houses. Then I decided to illustrate my books and studied illustration for this. I worked as an illustrator in publishing houses. Eventually, I got caught up in the mystery of canvas and paint and started making watercolors, acrylic paints, and oil paintings. I continue to work in styles that I define as Figurative Illustration, Abstract Figurative and Surreal Figurative.
