Over the last ten years my artistic practices has resulted in creation of several collections of drawing, painting and illustration. Creating art is my way of trying to comprehend and come to grips with the meaning of existence. By creating new spaces I can clarify and express my perception of the values and possibilities of life as a whole. Since there are some existential questions which are important to me and have not been answered yet for human being, “thinking in images” through my art has become vital for me to alert what the consequence of each question and answer would be.
