Art awakens a mystery without which the world would not want to exist.

For a long time, I tried to find myself in art, to find my individuality, which would inspire me and embody my fullness as an artist and, at the same time, carry my authenticity. And when events happened that turned my life "upside down", at some point the symbol of the hands itself became not only special for me, I simply found the meaning I was looking for in it. And this is natural because the symbol of hands is one of the strongest, most ancient, and most mysterious in the world.
My first images of hands were painted in acrylic and represented a symbol of unity. The image and the technique coincided and harmoniously combined so much that I continued to paint only with acrylic. But most importantly, I found a very strong response to the image of hands in my heart, as if I opened a secret door to their symbolic depth and secret spirituality. I looked at them in a new way and saw not just a unique part of the human body that is interesting to draw. I was able to understand the embodiment of a symbol of strength, faith, and hope in them. Each line, each slope... While drawing my hands, I am filled with these incredible energies. This is what I want to share through my creativity. So that everyone can see and feel their meaning and the energy they symbolize.
