Painting is my new language. Words have become lines, color and form. In seeking that authentic expression, I often literally scratch, wipe, and tear away at the surface of the canvas, like a writer deleting clichés and inexactitudes in order to find an exact experience and its expression.

I am currently working through the theme "Memory of Sun" inspired by Anna Akhmatova's poem and her poetry in general. I have been intensively working with asphalt, ink, collage and ash. I use the layers and depth of textures to then scratch away lines to find the traces of memory.
