About The Artwork The self-representation, as a visible element in my work is the result of a self-reflection, focusing on personal development, spiritual and emotional states, justifying the idea that the work done by me, are self-portraits. Metaphorically they narrate, states of mind, moments of evolution and healing, alternative treatments carried out and spiritual issues related to death, that since child assail my mind, particularly reincarnation and spiritual growth that entails. My work turned into something spiritual, a route between several lives and several times in the same life, coexisting side by side from strategies of self-representation that ultimately question the meaning of life.

Through case-analysis and cross-sectional assessment of eleven countries this collection explores the most deeply divided societies in the world in order to highlight what deliberative democracy looks like in a deeply divided society and to understand the conditions that deliberative democracies could realistically emerge in difficult circumstances
About The Artwork The ideological orientation of this work is associated with deep inner experiences. I have been doing fine arts for as long as I can remember, but I only reached my professional level 5 years ago. For myself, I clearly established that I would not follow trends alien to me just for the sake of making a profit, and I always tried to fill my works with meaning and depict objects of reality through the prism of my personal worldview. Analyzing the market in its price category, I understand that there is a demand for works that are pleasing to the eye and do not carry a semantic load, but this is contrary to my principles. There were attempts to follow the fashion, but the result did not suit me, and this only exacerbated the internal conflict. I know that such problems torment not only me, but also many artists I know, so in the work "Reality" I tried to collect the image of the artist without obvious gender signs, so as not to distract the viewer from the essence. In this work, the bandage with the inscription "reality" acts as a kind of obstacle on the path of beautiful and positive thoughts, preventing the belief in a bright future from penetrating into the real world. Bright colored spots is a free work of an independent artist who is left to live in a world of illusion. The stripes behind the artist's image symbolize the barcode, which, in turn, is a reference to the consumer society in which the artist himself is located.
