"The characteristic feature of my works are deserted spaces, but they are not devoid of human beings.

Through architecture I create an echo of his presence. Often industrial and rural buildings are the protagonists of my paintings, they are traces that can give a psychological portrait of their authors and inhabitants. Many buildings have long been empty and are no longer used by people. They have lost their original purpose, but have acquired a new one. Now the buildings exist on their own, outside the temporal and social context. They have become ideal plastic forms. My goal is to capture and convey to the viewer the passing nature, the beauty of proportions, the plasticity of simple geometric forms. The rich texture of natural materials: wood, metal, earth."
