:”What is exactly that you want to achieve with art? In fact you are living in your painted backyard of your soul you want to come out from there sometimes. You want to show yourself to other backyard occupiers! Then you starting to speak up and have a colored conversation and everybody able to see your existence and what did you collected in mind! Or you can choose to stay in the backyard,,, still you can speak,, but on the earth there will be only one listener to listen and that is you!
Artist`s statement:
I don`t want to develop a new style in art….I don`t want anyone to call me skillful…because I personally hate working on details!,,,I want to develop colorful feelings in heart flowing freely! I want to make bridge between two centuries,,I want a little time traveling back with my art,,,!-This is how I can describe my purpose in short version!......
...if somebody could catch the feeling from my art,,then I really achieved my goal because I was able to make the viewer fly back to that century what is actually lost forever! You don`t have to be child again to understand the main rules in my art. You only have to remember the time when you first developed the colors and shapes of the world around you!-So where is the time traveling?.....that`s actually in your heart!

Situations, shapes, fields, urban themes abstractions with agressive colors with my own sometimes naive shapes what I brought from the childhood. But actually I`m unable to specify my own style. I`m in love with Abstract expressionism.
