I am an artist, illustrator.

In my works, I use monotype technique combined with manual drawing. For me the monotype is a form of interaction with the Universe. The initial stains are accidental, which are slowly taking shape, life of their own and individuality. As a result, they begin to convey my feelings and the story I aspire to tell. Sometimes I am the one who decides what comes out of the stain and sometimes it is the stain that dictates to me the image that will be created out of it.

 

My works are interactive and reminiscent of a Rorschach test. The Rorschach test makes it possible to analyze various personality characteristics and behavioral functions. The test can examine emotions, self-perception, ability to interpret reality, strength versus weakness, and etc. 

A stain serves as a paradigm of emotional states, a transformation of the subconscious, the sublimity of depth of the mind.
 

The same image I created displays differently for every viewer on the full emotional spectrum. One will see in them only the playful image or a cute story, the other will discover for themselves what is hidden in the depth of the abyss, frightening and absorbing the light. Between the innocence and the horror, my drawings allow viewers to identify with the works and recognize themselves in them.
