I painted the first pattern as soon as I got an idea of creating a decorative design . It was a very chaotic yet rhythmic pattern, black and green on white fabric. I painted it over a piece of cloth that was 1,5 meters long and made a dress out of it right away.

If the fabric is transparent enough, I put a sketch underneath and paint over it. If the fabric is thick and dark, I use glass and light, it makes the pattern visible for circling. Opaque fabrics have to be painted over without a sketch, sometimes using a stencil.

Among my “tools” are folk art symbols, digits, sound frequencies, crystal lattices and more. My patterns are a visual language, there is meaning behind, and it definitely has an impact on people. A good pattern is the one that beckons you and brings a sense of calm.

I’ll never forget painting 5 square metres of fabric for my friend’s wedding dress. It took about a month of daily work. I made sure the paint set down, started rinsing, and the colour washed off! Funnily enough, it was another coincidence: the wedding was called off.
