ARTIST STATEMENT
 I cherish a beauty of nature and feel strongly connected with it. I care about the environmental problems we are facing today. Through my art, I like to highlight the importance of preserving the endlessly beautiful Canadian landscape.
As a medium, I use high-quality repurposed magazine paper, Japanese papers and tissues, or my own painted paper to assemble my vision in collage using a mosaic approach on canvas. I find this process challenging, exciting and environmentally friendly.
I relate my collage work to assembling a 1000-piece puzzle, finding this very special piece of paper that would be just a right colour and value. As a chess player, I plan few steps ahead but in my artworks I often let my emotions run free and take over my creative process.I have been using collage as my medium of choice since Jan. 2014. It was a “love at the first sight” when I tried it, after many years of using other media, including watercolours and acrylics. Now, I close my eyes at night thinking of what will my next collage painting be like and waking up in the morning ready to spend the whole day working on it.
