The main theme of my work is to analyze the surrounding world of society through metaphors on the life of seagulls.
Being sociophobic, introverted and just a super-sensitive nature, I transform my experiences and observations of society, my pains and fears from socialization into images. Despite the fact that my experience of socialization is mostly negative, in the disclosure of this theme, I do not want to go into sadness and sorrow, on the contrary, I want to create something life-affirming, to convey a sense of hope, to focus on the understanding that even the hardest moments in life are not bad, sometimes they need to be experienced. That's why I use a lot of pure blue and blue colors in my works, partly intuitively.

I draw my inspiration from my solitude with nature. Ideas for paintings often come to me during my daily walks to the sea, watching the bird life on the coast, reflecting on my experiences, and working on plein air.

My first series of 6 works is characterized mainly by the fact that I place seagulls in some isolated meta-world of feelings and sensations. However, in the near future I would like to include in my works the love for home, for the city where I live, so I have set myself a point - to tie my art to this place, to move my seagulls into the landscapes that surround me. The first step towards the realization of this idea was the series of digital illustrations "Seagulls over Adler".
