ARTIST STATEMENT

TRANSMUTING DARKNESS INTO TRIUMPH THROUGH ART

My works, where bandages serve as canvas, embody stories of resilience.

"Cemra" means darkness in Belarusian, a theme I delve into, transforming pain into beauty with oil and resin.

My art doesn't just exist; it breathes, it tells stories, it awakens.

My projects are aimed at the development and preservation of

cultural heritage, the expansion and nurturing of ethics, trust, empathy, and humanity.
