I create narratives with an enriched use of history as material. Using definitive line and color as a tool I create a concurrent entity fortresses with a personality. I use familiar patterns from both my Jewish roots and Ukrainian heritage. The flat background is the stage for the personages. Approached with a cartoonlike dissection of space into planes and line the subjects hover between flatly treated paintings and a neosurrealistic aesthetic entangled in the referencing of Russian and Soviet sensibilities.
