Are we truly alone in the universe? What if we are not, as I attempt to suggest in my series of paintings titled "Parallel Worlds"?

What if there are other forms of life, apart from ours, existing in galaxies yet unknown to us? The laws of parallel universes may be as diverse as our own perception of the world around us. What we perceive may be completely different from how others experience it. When creating this series of paintings, I sought harmony, balance, and the interconnectedness of compositions. My aim was to depict harmony and balance found not only in our world but also in the entire universe. You may find countless parallels between my paintings and our everyday life—both material and non-material, spiritual life, or even other worlds. Each viewer can interpret my art in their own way, which brings me great joy.

Through shapes, colors, and abstract compositions in my oil paintings, I aim to draw the viewer into the artwork, making them a co-creator of the piece. Although the paintings are abstract (allowing each viewer to find something different), most viewers tend to connect with the idea I had in mind when creating the piece. This is a great satisfaction for me and gives me continuous motivation to create new abstract works.

Until recently, I only painted realistic works. What was not captured on the canvas could not be conveyed to the viewer. Shaping the central motif of each composition and creating the entire atmosphere of the painting—its colors, tones, and lighting—is a lengthy process. All of my paintings are preceded by a series of studies and sketches, where I clarify the basic composition, light, and colors. Sometimes, I don't get any further than these sketches, and no final painting is ever created.

Things and people around us can be viewed from various angles and perspectives. “Reality is something that was created only in our head.” I don’t remember where I heard this sentence, but it perfectly captures the essence of my paintings. Although my works are abstract, I paint them using classical layering techniques to achieve the maximum depth of colors. Only then can a viewer truly be drawn into the painting and its narrative.
