Spring in my Soul
This is my artwork about the comfort zone. Here, the girl has hidden herself among soft pillows, surrounding herself with coziness and safety.
But the comfort zone is not always a bad thing. It’s a place where we can recover, rest, and recharge. The key is not to stay there for too long, because beyond these pillows, there is always something greater waiting for us.

Princess and the Pea
This series of paintings was inspired by the fairy tale The Princess and the Pea, which my parents used to read to me in childhood. However, I wanted to place this “princess” in a modern reality.
The heroine of this series is stuck in her ego-state of a “child” and lives in her own personal “pink, soft” world, where there are no problems, no responsibilities, and everything is done for her by others.
Each painting features clouds as a symbol of her lightheartedness and tendency to have her head in the clouds.
The series is created with oil paints on canvas.

Pierrot in Pink
A melancholic yet captivating portrait of a young woman dressed as Pierrot, enveloped in soft pink hues and rich textures. Her porcelain-like skin and delicate expression evoke nostalgia, innocence, and theatrical drama. The bold contrast between light and shadow enhances the depth of her gaze, drawing the viewer into a dreamlike narrative. This oil painting merges classical influences with modern surrealism, creating a striking visual story filled with emotion and timeless elegance.
Fragile Doll
A surreal and delicate portrait of a pale-skinned girl dressed in historical-inspired attire, set against an intricate red background. Holding a small ceramic chicken, she exudes an air of quiet mystery and fragile beauty. The dramatic color contrast and meticulous details bring a sense of tension between innocence and hidden strength. This piece reflects on vulnerability and identity, blending classical portraiture with symbolic storytelling.

Apple. Fragile World
This painting is part of the Fragile World series and reflects how we, as humans, have a profound impact on the fate of ecology and humanity. A single careless or abrupt action can affect everything around us. The apple symbolizes nature, which is now more fragile than ever, and it is crucial for us to preserve and protect it.

Hidden Identity
This painting explores the secret inner desire of an ordinary cow to be extraordinary—trendy, unique, and remarkable. Just like this cow, we, too, may appear one way to the world while feeling completely different inside—bold, creative, and full of individuality. It’s a reflection of our inner selves.
In my work, I often explore themes of identity shaped by childhood, upbringing, and environment, revealing the hidden layers of who we truly are.

Dove. Fragile World
A painting from the series “Fragile World,” which I created under the influence of all the events unfolding in the world around us. It portrays a porcelain dove, a symbol of peace, that has been shattered and mended many times. Yet, it remains fragile, as the slightest wrong move could once again break it into hundreds of tiny pieces.
The painting is done in oil on canvas, with visible brushstrokes that make it visually striking and captivating.

Balloon. Fragile World
This painting is part of the series ‘Fragile World.’ The idea for this work came to me because of all the events happening in the world right now and how truly fragile the world around us is.
Here, a balloon is depicted, which is generally associated with celebrations and something positive, with cute pink bows on it. But it hangs on a chain, like underwater mines. This balloon could burst at any moment from a slight movement, and the consequences would be powerful, with a shockwave sweeping everything around.
It is important for us to remember that our world is very fragile and to do our part to protect and cherish it.

Inverted Bouquet
This bouquet seems to disrupt the usual order of things, revealing the duality of beauty and fragility. Delicate white tulips reach upward, yet their stems give birth to something unexpected—roots in the form of small bulbs. It symbolizes the intrinsic connection between beginning and end, between what appears perfect and what lies beneath. Just like in life, elegance can conceal something raw, and softness can harbor the strength that nurtures growth.
The Talk
This painting is part of the series “The Life of Ordinary Things.” It came to life from that moment when, during a shower, I glanced at my shampoo and conditioner bottles and felt like they were whispering to each other behind my back, like they had their own little world. I love finding beauty in the everyday objects we use so often that we stop noticing them. But it’s these little things that make up our life — they are part of it.
Sink Stories
There are those moments when the sink is overflowing with dishes, the apartment is a mess, but you are so tired that all you want is to make yourself a cup of coffee, leave everything as it is for 10-15 minutes, and just take a break, even in the middle of all that chaos. Sometimes, we girls just need that time, not worrying about the mess. Am I right?
