Artists statement

I am a hypersensitive person and feel the world around me very subtly.

In my paintings, I convey these emotions, energy, the greatness and power of the world.

Behind my work stay self-discovery, uniqueness, the limitless powers of human nature, and beauty in everyday life. These aspects motivate me every single day and help me to go through life. I want my viewers to find the power inside themselves and dare live the life they deserve and dream of.

I work from my home studio in the forest. An ideal place for inspiration, because my main source and theme in my work is nature and its manifestations. For example, human nature and its manipulation of life. I paint in an abstract and sometimes expressive style, constantly experimenting with materials.

Expressing vibrancy, freedom, and consciousness, my goal is to offer the viewer a place of self-reflection, to recall about their greatness, power, love, and thankfulness. I want the viewers to feel a deep connection to the roots of their forgotten and true personality, and gain the inner balance and voice again.

My abstract landscapes are the main reflection of my thoughts and values. I respect the traditions of the family and convey this in my work. I develop themes of family, memory passed on through generations.

I am also interested in the manifestation of man in the world, his nature to challenge the universe, the search for the source of life, the debate about creating his own reality, and obeying the will of God.
