My artistic practice builds on classical training and experience in graphic design, combining technical skill with a contemporary visual language. Through painting, I explore the inner states of individuals and society, conveying narratives through nature and creating emotional contrasts with collages and elements of experimental techniques. My work invites viewers to reflect on feelings, relationships, and complex social situations.
I also taught painting for children with mental disabilities (Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy). And created the SolArt System project, held exhibitions of special children's paintings, launched a website and sold their paintings, because they are extraordinary.
I studied landscape painting with Stanislav Brusilov.
