2025 Oil painting on canvas
70 x 100
Inspired by the view from my window, this work captures the shifting horizon where lake and mountains meet at dusk. Layers of color echo the rhythm of the Tetris series, transforming the fleeting moment of twilight into a meditation on memory and perception.

The Tetris series was born as a pictorial reflection on childhood memories and the experience of play. Tetris, with its ceaselessly falling bricks, reminds us how life continually presents us with events and situations to understand, manage, and integrate. Just like in play, we must "align" these fragments to move forward, nourish ourselves with them to grow, and, ultimately, free ourselves from them to avoid accumulating an excessive burden that prevents us from fully living in the present.

60 X 70
This work inhabits a space of transition, a suspended moment in which color has not yet settled. Green begins to recede, while red slowly emerges from the painterly layers. Transformation unfolds through slippage rather than rupture: an unstable balance that holds the instant just before change.

2022 Oil painting on canvas
40 x 50
Evokes a childhood game, a playful construction where each piece finds its place. But here, the shapes dissolve, like a memory fading under the weight of time and trials. Between play and chaos, it reflects the loss of innocence in the face of personal and collective history.

Tetris II rises as a dreamlike reminiscence of the first: a gentle whim where childhood memories resurface — this time intact and luminous.

A volcano of flowers sets the space ablaze, transforming chaos into bursts of light. Through a misted window, the explosion becomes a blooming, like a cry of color against the darkness.

Icy worlds, droplets suspended between water and ice. Like solitary spheres — near, yet unreachable. A cold silence after the storm.

70 x 90
A bare tree rises towards a cottony sky. A few flowers, fragile yet tenacious, pierce the silence of emptiness. This painting speaks of rebirth, resilience, and the longing for beauty even when everything feels suspended.
2024 Oil painting on canvas
50 x 60
In Crimea, the Cornus mas emerges among the rocks. As a child, I was deeply moved by the contrast between the fragility of this delicate, deciduous plant and the raw strength of the stones — immutable and silent. This canvas is a tribute to its scarlet fruits, symbols of inner resilience and the invisible strength of women.
