My paintings are created in mixed media using acrylic, mediums, texture pastes, potal, as well as dried flowers, pages of old books and more. Such a variety of materials allows me to better convey the essence and shape of objects, I like three-dimensional elements. I draw inspiration from everywhere: the play of chiaroscuro at sunset, nature around, raindrops, communication with interesting people. My husband says that he really likes that I can enjoy the little things and find and bring beauty to my surroundings. In my work, I like to leave unsaid parts and clearly define the main things, leave space in the work and air. I dream that looking at my paintings people feel calm and harmony, the one that they usually experience from communicating with me. I know how to relieve anxiety and instill calm and hope in people, this is what I put into my work. After the birth of my son, I could not return to medicine, as I became more sensitive to other people's suffering and creativity helps me cope with the imperfection of this world, gives me the opportunity to create something beautiful and share it with others.
