"Often, seeing small details in existence helps me see the whole picture of certain events, Whether it is a self-made plot or seemingly insignificant symbols, either way, later on in life this past experiences transforms into my artwork.
I tend to dig in deep into Discovering news in life or symbols, To understand the world or the creative process in everyday life. All this is worthless, its part of everyday life, at first sight this is meaningless, but in reality this stands as a key, a key which I find, then I wonder which doors will this key help me to open. This is the start of my creativity and I live in this exact moment, when I paint.”
