Since 2002, participates in national and international exhibitions. Works can be found in private collections in Belarus, Poland, Italy, USA, Ireland and Germany.
“I am passionate about the realization of nontrivial ideas through new perception angles, using unexpected materials and a constant serach. For me, creating a work is an entire life in itself and a continuous process. This processual circle (realization – experiment – search) is the reason I see each work as a living thing, something that can never be finished or brought to a conclusion. Even within a gallery space, a canvas continues its movement and development as it communicates with the viewer and soaks in his or her emotional response.
I find the process of this unending search so captivating, I start to sense the pulse of my canvases and live through their development, thus giving birth to new ideas and experiments.”
