Repeat after me
Repeat after me The parrot gazes at the phone screen left among the forest trees. A political speech plays on the screen, yet to whom is it addressed now? To a person, the state, supporters, or opponents—or perhaps, by this point, only to itself? The bird, capable of mimicking human speech, remains silent here. It becomes a witness to a political discourse in which words are repeated endlessly, passing from person to person, yet not necessarily truly heard. The screen, left alone among the trees, becomes a symbol of the voice of authority—a voice that continues to sound even after the human has departed. Nature remains still, and the parrot simply watches. Who is speaking? Who is listening? And who truly possesses a voice of their own?

.Creating magical worlds in color I am a contemporary artist working primarily with acrylic paint. In my work, I explore time, memory, love, childhood, war, and human connection. I am drawn to those moments when everyday reality reveals something deeper, when a simple image becomes a symbol and a personal story touches upon a universal human experience. I like to leave space in my paintings for questions, emotion, and personal interpretation. For me, painting is not simply a way of capturing a moment, but an attempt to hold on to something that is always slipping away: a feeling, a memory, a glance, a fleeting moment. I paint what cannot be held in time
