ARTIST STATEMENT

My art name is Lark – the bird that lingers between the earth and the sky. We artists do it at the moment of inspiration. That’s how I create my art. I meditate and start with the spontaneous movements of my ecological instruments, usually just pieces of cardboard. My best creations take place in a state of no mind.

Nature for me is alive, tender and often suffering from humans cruelty. It tells me about its feelings and helps me to share mine through art, it gives me energy and inspiration. That’s why I bring subconscious reflections of nature into my art, conjuring imagined landscape and inviting viewers to experience its healing powers. With my art I hope to attract attention to the ecological issues.

Often side by side with my painting goes a poem, which helps me to give titles to my artworks. For example my mixed media painting/collage “Water Brake”, which was created during Covid in the “Call and Respond” prorgram and relates to the ecologucal problem with Water Brake in Long Beach. Then I created a poem below which reflacts this ecological tragedy!


WATER BRAKE

Into the innocent mouth of water,
Into the pure crystal of water,
into the very soul of water,
Whatever you spill,
From the big dirty belly,
Of the docked ships
Sneaks
In the depths of the ocean,
On the sparkling silver fish skin,
On the bird wings,
Killing them and us slowly,
From the port to the shore
Covered with black foam,
Long Beach Water Break –
What a heartache!

ENVIRONMENTAL PURSUIT

My art is deeply connected to the mission of protecting our endangered planet because nature is not simply a subject in my work — it is a living presence, a spiritual force, and an emotional reality. Born in the mountains of Central Asia and surrounded throughout my life by rivers, forests, and the sea, I developed a profound sensitivity toward the fragility and sacredness of the Earth. Nature has always been a source of healing, guidance, and emotional survival for me, and this relationship became the foundation of my artistic practice.

From the beginning of my career, I worked with collage, found objects, and unconventional materials. Even my painting process reflects this philosophy: I often paint not with traditional brushes, but with recycled cardboard and found materials, transforming discarded objects into poetic visual language. In this sense, my art practice itself is ecological — giving forgotten materials a second life and turning them into reflections on beauty, vulnerability, and interconnectedness. Many of my works explore the idea of Mother Earth as a sensitive living organism that experiences both harmony and pain. Through layered textures, organic forms, and luminous landscapes, I try to remind viewers that humanity is not separate from nature, but deeply interconnected with it. My paintings and poems often speak about emotional and spiritual relationships between humans and the natural world, encouraging contemplation, empathy, and environmental awareness. I believe art can contribute to the Endangered Planet mission not only through activism or information, but also through emotional awakening. When people emotionally reconnect with the Earth, they become more conscious of the need to protect it. My work seeks to create that connection — inspiring reflection, healing, respect for nature, and a deeper sense of responsibility toward our shared planet.
