STATEMENT Research of internal instability and plasticity of the human psyche is the main foundation of my art. I’m interested in the question of decreasing fears and fictions through their analyze, in whole perception of different sides personality through symbolism and combination of modern artistic techniques. Most of my art have a trend of the female perspective and consciousness of Western culture, because it's so close to my origin. Moths in my works are illusions, fears, complexes. Fragile, fickle, rapidly disappearing, is invisible. My works are little stories about relationships with fiction, doubt, and ideas in our heads. We can be friends with them, be in harmony, fight or ignore them, but they are always with us! Even if just nobody notices.
