Dear friends,
     I would like to introduce you my paintings. They are made in the mixed technique: oil, acrilic, gold on canvas or cardboard. The style I would call "decorative naivety". While working, I am inspired with the traditions of the oriental arts andcrafts and easten miniature. In my pictures I am trying to express wisdom and beauty of our world, love to it, to essences living here.
