Her professional interest is focused on the flow of time, on the movement that
is not perceptible in isolation from space, thinking about the different and the similar in various cultural experiences and taking travel as one of the ways for expanding this experience. Time and space per se are not visible – they sur-
face in the vision due to the changes, for instance, due to the movement or distance. Under certain conditions a movement in space may transform into a movement in time. Space for artist is not only a geographic size, but also includes the significance of psychological and cultural con-
texts. She has explored different techniques and materials: drawing, painting, photography and the synthesis of other art mediums (photography, installation), but the painting is most important for artist’s statement.
