In my work I reconstruct dreams, fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and lullabies, that were a part of our lives. Capturing different emotions on people’s faces is something I love to do. When creating artwork, I try to express what the viewer will feel as well.
I like to create interesting pieces of art by using different techniques, materials, surfaces, and more.
Every piece of artwork I make tells a different story; stories with a hero, a villain, and with action, that make my work special. I make dynamic and unique artworks that have meaning.
Overall, I enjoy using and experimenting with different techniques to make incredible piece of art.
