ARTIST STATEMENT
My art name is Lark – the bird that lingers between the earth and the sky. We artists do it at the moment of inspiration. That’s how I create my art. I meditate and start with the spontaneous movements of my ecological instruments, usually just pieces of cardboard. My best creations take place in a state of no mind. Nature for me is alive, tender and often suffering from humans cruelty. It tells me about its feelings and helps me to share mine through art, it gives me energy and inspiration. That’s why I bring subconscious reflections of nature into my art, conjuring imagined landscape and inviting viewers to experience its healing powers. With my art I hope to attract attention to the ecological issues.
