Using a photographic medium,2D,3D,mixed media and digital processing, achieved expressiveness of color and form.

Describe your creative process.

For 3 years I explored the boundaries of contemporary art and contemporary photography to understand what new things I could say in fine art. I have two degrees, in the history of art and the history of photography, I am inspired by contemporary art and I boldly experiment with techniques in my chosen genre of floral still life. I combine many elements of visual culture and different mediums, mixing photography, graphic design, illustration, painting, mixed media and avant-garde tools. All my series have similar features of the author's style and create a separate, unique floral art universe.
