Ecological issues are one of the leading themes I raise in my paintings. I try to show the connection between humans, animals, and nature. This connection is not always there, unfortunately. Humans face climate change, pollution, overuse of resources, and recycling issues.

As an artist, I am concerned about this problem and raise it in my paintings, depicting an ideal world where humanity and nature are balanced and have a deep connection. Nature is what inspires me and gives me limitless inspiration with its unimaginable verity of shapes, colors, and textures. I try to deliver an idea that everything and everyone on the Earth is connected, and we are, as humans, have to protect and support the place where we live for us and future generations.

A woman in my paintings usually represents the beginning of a new life, fertility, and abundance.

Primarily, I work with acrylic paints. I love to use different techniques such as scratching, multi-layering, and different textures on surfaces of canvases or paper. I like the collage way of organizing and forming elements on the canvas. It looks like a puzzle; when one element overlap or transforms into another, that creates the feeling of interest in finding new objects that are not obvious at first glance.
