This may sound like a cliche..but coming from a communist country, art means freedom. Having my Freedom of expression constantly denied from an early age, I can now fully appreciate what it brings to my life. Joy, passion, spontaneity. 

Art allows me to illustrate memories of the subconscious, and feelings, serve as a catalyst for Inspiration from anywhere, and trigger the interpretation of anything. I do not stay in certain styles or color schemes for a long time. Inventiveness and change is the key to progress for a painter. Yet, I feel I just barely began this tremendous journey to the unknown and enjoyed every bit of it.
