1. How would you describe your work to someone seeing it for the first time?
This work reveals such a psychological term as splitting.
Splitting is a psychological defense that can be described as thinking ＂in black and white “without semitones and averages, in other words, in terms of extremes.: ＂good＂ or ＂bad＂, ＂simple＂ or ＂complex＂.
An adult usually resorts to this protection when he is unable to bring his disparate and contradictory inner
experience into a single whole, as well as connect different parts of his psyche into a harmonious harmony/unity.
2. What ideas, themes, or emotions tend to show up again and again in your work?
My work is a mirror of my inner state. In each series, I strive to capture what resonates with my
soul now: my worries, anxieties, or quiet reflections. I'm one of those people who is used to experiencing
emotions internally, and photography has become the language I can speak openly. For me, a photograph
isn't just aesthetics, but a way to reflect on my current life situation. It’s both a powerful creative boost and
a necessary emotional release, allowing me to open my soul through the lens.
3. What inspires you most right now, and why?
I am inspired by everything that surrounds me: photographs, films, paintings, sculptures and other works of art. After all, we represent what fills us.
4. What does your creative process typically look like from start to finish?
My creative process is a story of meticulous preparation and attention to detail. I’m not a fan of
rushing, so I dedicate a lot of time to developing a concept: from searching for a profound idea and
selecting references to painstakingly searching for props. Casting plays a special role—I believe the model’s
type must perfectly resonate with the concept. The integrity of the image is important to me, and if I feel that some element isn’t working, I prefer to take a break or abandon the project altogether rather than deliver a result I don’t believe in. For me, quality always trumps quantity.
5. Was there a turning point when you started taking your art practice seriously? What happened?
Art has always been an integral part of my life. My journey began as a child with musical education, where, in addition to classical music, I studied painting. Later, my interest shifted to photography – I was fascinated by how the authors convey their unique vision through the lens. For a long time, I remained only an enthusiastic observer, not even allowing myself to be on the other side of the camera. But the moment came when my inner curiosity outweighed my doubts, and my passion for art turned into my own creative path.
6. How do you know when a piece is finished?
When I see in him exactly what I wanted to convey to the viewer.
7. Favorite tool, equipment or material you can’t live without.
I consider geometric shapes to be my primary creative tool. Whether they’re physical objects or the play of light and shadow that creates a graphic effect, these elements allow me to construct a frame and realize my boldest concepts.
8. What has been one of the biggest lessons you've learned as an artist so far?
Take into account every little thing and detail, because they form the overall picture.
9. What are you currently working on or exploring next?
I am currently working on a project called “Body Mosaic”.
