Spreading my time between UK, Prague and Georgia, I enjoy painting everything that catches my eye and imagination from abstract landscapes, places, streets, people, and objects around us to female forms. My paintings reflect my mood and a spontaneous outpouring of emotions that occur at the specific moment. Although my philosophy of life is harmony, purity, deep reflection, beauty, contemplation, reserve and simplicity of existence, I tend to exaggerate rather than simply describe and force a viewer to concentrate his or her attention on the main object, not being distracted by small details and long descriptions.
