My paintings are exciting the energy of effeminacy and adolescence, and my characters are full of tenderness and charm. Explosion of colors will take you where the dawn, pink as strawberry ice, stands upon the city, when thoughts are flowing rosy stream and the Moon trip seems to be possible.

At that the canvas texture is giving you an irresistible passion to touch and feel the breath of the wind, shade in the forest and mature grape on your fingers.
