Paul Gauguin said, “it’s not what you see in the art, it’s what the other people see.” That’s one of my directions when I create my compositions. I take inspiration from Jackson Pollock, Clyfford Still, and Jean Paul Riopelle. When I create my compositions, I don’t let my ego control my creativity. I try to connect to the universal energies of beauty, color, freedom, and positive balance. I use different tools to create new forms and techniques to communicate with people who will find my art interesting and spiritual. – Yuri
