My work takes shape in paintings and wall sculptures where matter, light and layering build dynamic, three-dimensional surfaces. Working with geometric composition, circular forms and layers of plexiglass, I make pieces that shift with changing light and viewpoint — revealing a movement that belongs not to the material itself, but to perception. What draws me is the relationship between stillness and motion, between what is visible and what stays hidden: translating emotion, energy and inner states into forms able to trigger a genuinely perceptual experience.
My practice is built on a language that weaves together matter, light and layering. A mixed heritage and a childhood spent along the Silk Road — where geometry and spirituality meet, from Tashkent to Moscow to Rome — shape a body of work in which geometric rigour and a spiritual dimension find common ground. My training in Soviet classical dance stays with me as a memory held in gesture: a discipline of the body that now shapes how I construct space, rhythm and the relationships between materials. Textured painting, layered plexiglass, metal leaf and passages of action painting coexist within a process that leaves light to complete the work — making it changeable, perceptually unstable.
The white gloves I wear through every stage of making are a gesture of care toward what I consider the most precious material of all: emotion.
My work is driven by the conviction that art can expand what perception is capable of. Through its dialogue with light and space, each piece builds a shifting relationship with its surroundings, resisting any single, fixed reading. I want my work to keep its meaning open — able to renew itself at every encounter, and to suggest that what we see depends as much on matter as on the gaze that meets it.
Putting on the white gloves — A ritual repeated before every piece, like a threshold to cross.
Matter, light and gesture intertwine at every stage of my work. Layered plexiglass, gold, silver and copper leaf, pigments and canvas are not simply tools: they are living surfaces, holding within them the time and care of every passage. In the choice of each material I find again the same discipline learned in classical dance — a balance between rigour and freedom that today translates into the dialogue between hand and matter.
