Fly with your imagination, and it will take you into the depths of sub-consciousness and to the heights of your fantasy, where only the sky is the limit...
Where is the line between truth and falsehood? Between illusion and reality? There’s a famous phrase - "Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures".
Truthful fiction is the basis of my creative style. Fiction may not reflect the reality as we know it, yet conveys a deep, accurate and true message.
I draw my inspiration from sources such as Renaissance paintings and allegories. I uses allegories to express her understanding of the world and talk about what's important to me today.
