As I was learning to speak, I was also scribbling wherever I could - my mother used to tell me that. Whether it was on tablecloths or walls. But I had this need to master it, to be able to do it, to keep drawing a lot, my own ideas that I was only beginning to expect. However, I was always interested in humans, the human body, what humans invent, the different mechanisms, toys, how they invent their needs. That's probably the subject of my paintings. This painting is not completely intuitive. The foundation, the starting point, is always drawing, a drawing that can be, but doesn't have to be further developed, that is, painted, filled in. I want to see the idea I've drawn in space and color. It's wild painting, fast, expressionistic.Painting presents me with a strange difficulty, it's a kind of overcoming. I often approach it like a hedgehog. I immediately dive into drawing, it doesn't give me such problems. I'm also very interested in textured painting, using different materials, but I don't do that. Maybe someday I'll engage in something like that.I'm also very interested in sculpture. I even have a ton of clay in the basement, but I always put it off for later. I would also like to truly explore how an idea, a figure, those figures, those faces I paint would look in space, to precisely study their anatomy, to build them without looking at anyone's face, without any reference photo, but to try to extract it from within myself, to find it within. I would like to explore my thinking about colors and try to think about sounds in the same way. To convert colors into sounds, to see how colors truly play, what sounds colors have. ****** Interview given in 2008 ******
