Creative credo
Learn to see the world
«I am attracted to those perspectives that are out of my current reach. If I have a vision that one or another object will look very unusual than I will do everything possible to capture this vision. The image in my head is set with lightning speed – the space, the form and the rhythm. Single moment and I am building composition of geometric component that is interconnected with my internal aesthetics. In order for this to happen, intention has to be clear and not mixed with anything. You need to learn to see this world, which means understanding of it.»
