I want to invite you to my world, in which I create fairy-tale characters for my project, for whom I create costumes and masks
My biggest hobby is making masks. It all started with simple objects, but later this hobby turned into a more serious format. I can make one mask for a month without leaving the studio, or I can make it in a couple of hours while watching a movie. I experiment with techniques and materials and invent new characters.
Now I study the history of masks around the world and attend authentic festivals such as Ukrainian Malanka, Portuguese Caretos, or Balinese New Year. They all bring their own meaning to their masks and costumes.
Each my character has his or her own story too, they all have ordinary lives, the same problems as us, but they have their own world.
