Price of silence
Wet military uniforms hang on a clothesline to dry. The person who wore them is no longer in the picture, but his presence is felt as if he were standing right in front of you. The water washes away the dust, sweat, and traces of the past day, but it cannot erase the memory. The empty uniforms become a symbol of those who pay every day with their youth, peace of mind, and safety, so that others can live in quiet and peace. The work does not deal with the war itself, but with its unseen side. With what remains after the sirens, orders, and waiting. With the price that is almost never spoken aloud, but continues to be paid. Again and again. Quiet is never free.

.Creating magical worlds in color I am a contemporary artist working primarily with acrylic paint. In my work, I explore time, memory, love, childhood, war, and human connection. I am drawn to those moments when everyday reality reveals something deeper, when a simple image becomes a symbol and a personal story touches upon a universal human experience. I like to leave space in my paintings for questions, emotion, and personal interpretation. For me, painting is not simply a way of capturing a moment, but an attempt to hold on to something that is always slipping away: a feeling, a memory, a glance, a fleeting moment. I paint what cannot be held in time
