"Using filters, such as glass, vinyl, water and steam, I distort the human body. These filters make it possible to create large areas of abstract design, with eyelash-colored islands through them - parts of the human body.

My paintings are changing a modern look at the already established, traditional poses and gestures of swimming women.

My characters are pressed against the glass window of the shower cabin, distorting his own body, realizing that there are thereby affect the notorious male look at the naked woman. Thick layers of paint are mixed so that from afar to imitate glass, pair, water and flesh. However, the amazing physical properties of oil paint are becoming obvious.
