"My work is a fusion of modern elegance and artistic freedom, drawn from nature. Through my art, I strive to provide the viewer with not only aesthetic experiences but also deep reflection. I translate my lifelong love for birds onto canvas, a passion that has been with me since childhood. Growing up in the countryside, surrounded by birds, gave me a unique sensitivity to their beauty and mystery.

I currently care for two parrots – Mango and Rio – with whom I share a very close bond. Observing birds and their majestic movements inspires me to create my paintings. In my work, I often capture peacocks, which symbolize royalty and immortality. Their stunning, colorful feathers and graceful tails have always fascinated me with their remarkable elegance. In my paintings, I often use color combinations such as gold and navy blue, which bring an element of luxury and timeless elegance to my art.

A key role in my creative process is played by my numerous travels around the world, which serve as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. I am particularly fascinated by the wild, unexplored corners of Asia, which captivate me with their authenticity and diverse cultures. Traveling allows me to gain a deeper understanding of the world and influences the color palette of my work, reflecting the essence of the places I visit. It is these travel adventures that enable me to continuously develop my artistic sensitivity and introduce fresh elements into my creations.

As a woman, I often portray the strength and delicacy of feminine nature in my work. I believe that true femininity is a synthesis of subtlety and inner determination. I create to give voice to emotions that are difficult to express in words. I always strive to paint with energy and joy because I believe that positive energy permeates every line, shape, and color in my work."
