About me: I am both fascinated by the inner and outer world of man, which in turn inspire me to make great images. The connection and relationship between those two worlds, which are constantly evolving and in progress, but are always and in-terdependent unit, I try to express through my art, constantly seeking new forms of expression regarding this theme. I try to visualize the visible and invisible connec-tion between man’s inside and outside through layered and compressed images.

This “Art” dinner plate is intended for orphanage children in St. Petersburg, Russia. In my choice for the concept “art on the food plate” I have chosen the image of a child that represents something mysterious as well as great beauty. I see some-thing the child cherishes, thus representing it an artifact of her own. I believe that children are our hope for a better world. They live in our complex world with many incentives where the essence of life is all about.
