BIOGRAPHY
Since my first abstract art classes in 2011 till now, I have been collaborating with many European and American art galleries which have selected and chosen my artworks for solo and collective international contemporary art exhibitions and fairs during past seven years, physically and digitally.
My passion for art, beauty and harmony goes back to my family, education and culture, my interests and activities throughout my international professional career and life, unrelated to arts, but always being an important, integral and valuable part of my life
