Chinese ink and resin on paper mounted on wood
37 x 27 cm
"In my work, I explore the dualities of life, the simplicity of basics and their hidden complexity. Just as existence can be both banal and profound, my practice draws directly from life itself. Using Chinese ink and a range of additional materials, I investigate repetition controlled and uncontrolled, intentional and spontaneous-as a way to reflect on being. My aim is not to illustrate truth or influence but to distill the essence of existence. Lines become my language: obsessive yet fragile, systematic yet intimate. Each one is a diary entry, a record of persistence, memory, and change. For over a decade, I have treated art as both research and ritual. A daily, meditative act, it grounds me while evolving through time, cities, and circumstances. From Ukraine to Beijing, Vienna, and now Paris, this journey shaped by displacement, war, and transformation continues to add new dimensions to my exploration of dualities. Through drawing, layering, and expanding into other media embroidery, photography, woodcut, resin, zines, and meditations . I create spaces for quiet reflection. These works do not demand attention; they invite it. They ask the viewer to linger, to see repetition not as sameness but as gradual transformation, where the simplest line can hold both stillness and change."
