Held in Light
In this work, I explore the quiet power of human presence—how light, color, and touch can hold and support us in subtle but essential ways. I’m drawn to that moment where connection is felt rather than defined, where form dissolves into sensation.
I use soft transitions of color and fluid, gestural movement to create a sense of warmth and openness. The composition is intentionally airy and luminous, allowing light to become an active element—something that surrounds, protects, and gently carries the subject.
For me, this piece is about being held without tension—about trust, stillness, and the emotional space we create for one another. It reflects a quieter kind of strength, one that doesn’t demand attention but offers comfort and presence.
I’m interested in the balance between abstraction and the human figure—where identity becomes secondary to feeling. The forms are softened, almost dissolving, as if they exist within light rather than separate from it.

STATEMENT
I've been drawn by the magical beauty behind fine arts and design since childhood.
Having a successful carrier in architecture and design for quite a long time, I began to
deal with fine art.
I began to look for new ways to express my emotions and feelings. The process of
creating art gave me what I wanted - endless ways of expressing myself. During the
creating process, I don't limit myself to a specific style or medium therefore my art is
mostly represents mixed media. My creating process is based on my emotions and my
mood. I'm very spontaneous. Today I might use photography to convey my
feelings...tomorrow I might paint to express myself. My work is infused with spirit and
energy I felt at the moment I created it. It encourages viewers to interpret it their own
way. My art evokes different feelings in the audience depending on their individual
experiences and memories. I was and continue to be inspired by the beauty of the world
around me and can spent hours to explore it. The rapid world at which is everything
changed so fast, I discovered that I will never live in quite the same world. Life unfolds
only in moments. Capturing moments that are full of emotion is the key to my art.
