ARTWORKS MANIFESTO
I think that in the modern era, it is possible to slow down time, to breathe, to express oneself and to free emotions through art. The artist's ability to say "I am here too, I imagined, I created and now I have multiplied" is a tool for the artist to make himself visible. I believe in the healing power of every branch of art. When I paint, I feel that I integrate with the canvas and that the painful process of creating changes me and carries me to a different point from the beginning. I try to portray the reflection of the beauty of nature and the inner world on women's portraits among colors, light and shadows.
