“ In my pictures I try to transform real and magic world and delicate movement between them . I try to express my feeling of colours , of. specific , unique forms , faces of people , nature power. I try to create new spaces inspired of imagination building new worlds. I try to make order of simple sings make them my own alphabet .“
