Jesus. Buddha. Krishna. Abraham.
Different names… same essence.

We are all connected even when we think we are separate. The same emotions, the same questions, the same search for peace.

The series “I AM U” came from that feeling…

When I look at this piece, it doesn’t feel like someone else, it feels familiar, like something I’ve known for a long time…Who do you recognize?

“From struggle to strength. From prison to president. From one man… to a movement.”

Nelson Mandela was more than a leader, he was a reminder that dignity cannot be imprisoned and justice cannot be silenced.

This portrait dissolves into smoke, because legacy is not solid stone, it moves, it rises, it travels through generations.

For Black History Month, we honor not only the history…
but the courage, resilience, and humanity that shaped it.

We are connected by the same breath.
The same fight for dignity.
The same hope for tomorrow.

We are deeply grateful to the Westwood Mayor, Ray Arroyo, his Office and community leaders for welcoming us with such warmth and kindness. Being given the space to share our vision and to donate a 9/11 print was truly meaningful to me and my team. This piece carries memory, loss, resilience, and unity and offering it to Westwood felt like a shared moment of remembrance and respect.
As we prepare to open Cre8sArt School and Sfumato Gallery in Westwood, we feel proud and humbled to become part of a community that values culture, education, and heart. Art has the power to connect souls, to heal, and to remind us that we are all part of something greater than ourselves.
Thank you for your openness, your support, and your trust. We are excited to grow, create, and serve alongside the Westwood community. This feels like the beginning of something beautiful.

Merry Christmas 🤍

In the quiet of this holy season,
may love rise like gentle smoke
lifting our prayers, softening our hearts,
and reminding us that light is never far.

May His presence bring peace to our souls,
hope to our days, and warmth to our homes.
Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Christmas.

🙏

If creation and the Creator are one, then every glance is a prayer, and every reflection is divine.

Dedicated to Iryna Zarutska (2002–2025)
A young artist whose light was taken too soon, yet her spirit lives on in memory and in art.

This portrait is part of my “I’m You” series a reminder that every face, every story, is connected. 🖤
“I’m You” we are all her, we are all part of each other.

Friends, please visit Ford Presidential museum in Grand Rapids, MI for amazing and check out my painting Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow.
It’s a celebration of LIFE !

Yesterday is a lesson—filled with memories,
triumphs, and mistakes that shape who we are. It
is a story already written, one we can reflect on
but never rewrite.

Today is a gift, a chance to breathe, to create, to
love, and to take one more step toward our
dreams. It is the only moment we truly own, the
space where change begins.

Tomorrow is a mystery, an unwritten page of
endless possibilities, hope, and new beginnings. It
is not promised, but it waits for those who dare to
dream and prepare.
Life moves through these three in a delicate
balance. Learn from yesterday, live fully today,
and step into tomorrow with courage.

Peaceful soul “I’m You” series

This painting holds a soul. Mine and perhaps yours.

My name is Syuzanna. I came to the U.S. from Russia in 2008, with nothing but a suitcase, a close friend, and a heart full of dreams. No family. No guarantees. Just a quiet voice inside that whispered, “You can do it.”

There were moments of deep loneliness… like walking through fog, unsure if the path even existed. But somewhere in that silence, there was always a voice of hope.

My husband and I opened an art school with zero dollars in our bank account, but with full faith in the unseen. We didn’t just build a school, we built a dream. Smoke turned into form. Vision turned into life. And the magic happened because we believed.

In this painting, The Smoke Artist captured my eyes in a veil of smoke. But they are not just mine. They are yours as well. They are a mirror. When you look into them, you may begin to see yourself. Not the version shaped by fear, but the one that remembers who you truly are.

Like smoke, our essence can’t be held… only felt. And sometimes, it’s only when things fall apart, that the truth reveals itself.
This piece is not about me. It’s about you: your strength, your softness, your own unfolding.
And if you are in the dark right now… please know: the light is already inside you.

S.A.

I’M YOU
A Mirror Portrait Series by The Smoke Artist

“I’m You” is an ongoing mirror portrait series that explores how we are all connected. Each artwork features the painted eyes of a real person from around the world — while a mirror completes the rest of the face with the viewer’s own reflection. This simple interaction creates a powerful moment of recognition: No matter where we come from, we are not so different. It’s a reminder of our shared humanity, our peaceful minds, and how easily we forget that I am you. And you are me.

Would you like to be part of this global series? I invite peaceful, authentic individuals to share their face and story. If you’d like to see yourself reflected in this project, connect with me and be part of ‘Peaceful Minds’ — a collection celebrating unity through art.
