My works can be divided into three main categories:
1) White lines on dark background (executed mostly with gouache on cardboard): ?Party?, ?Illusion?, ?Cube? are examples of this body of work. Human forms, their interaction, linear transformations of the objects, rhythmic play of construction ? these are the main features of my work. In those compositions I used line as a minimalistic mean for delivering my thoughts and vision.
2) Oil paintings (oil on canvas/cardboard):
?Red flowers?, ?Crooked street?, ?Green construction? are examples of my oil paintings, which are also based on human forms. Other works are abstract or semi-abstract; the examples are ?Composition 6?, ?Composition 7?, ?Composition 14?. In these works I try to deliver light, space and color.
3) Digitally embellished drawings (digital art):
This body of work is a natural continuation of my line-works. In 2000?s, I began applying digital effects to my drawings. The idea was to enrich simple line and make it look more complex, thus through that complexity create a new kind of form.
The examples of this body of work are ?Radiant tango?, ?Lovers?, ?Autumn lovers?.
