The Architecture of a Face
In my latest series, I explore the female image not as a static portrait, but as a living "node" within an ornamental field. For me, a face is an architecture of emotion. It is built through the rhythmic application of the palette knife, where every stroke is a structural decision.
The Figure and the Field In Ornamental Expressionism, the figure does not sit in front of the background. It emerges from it. I treat the canvas as a unified space where the ornament—inspired by the deep artistic traditions of Central Asia—becomes the very skeleton of the image. The face is a "celebration of the color patch," appearing and dissolving in a mosaic of chromatic tension.

A Window into Irreality
Why ornament? Because ornament is universal. It is a visual language of rhythm and repetition that speaks to our subconscious. By embedding the female form within these patterns, I create a "window into irreality." The viewer is invited to see beyond the likeness and feel the structural energy of the presence itself.
For the Collector These works are designed for those who seek more than decoration. They are created for collectors who appreciate the poetic tension between realism and abstraction. Each painting is a unique study of how the human spirit is reflected in the vibrant architecture of the ornament.
