Artist’s Statement
My current passion is abstract paintings. I paint to express my feelings and develop my own language.
My inspiration comes from everyday experience and extensive travels. I try to convey the mood and feelings of places and perceptions of those memories. I transform my vision into poetic abstraction, diffused with spiritual resonance and discover the hidden beauty harmony of color.
My favorite mediums are oil, acrylic, ink, colored pencils and graphite.
I spend a lot of time coloring and re-coloring shapes and lines until the dynamics between elements come together and a definite composition arises. I have a lovely and calming feelings working with abstract series.
I create my works in some kind of meditation process, breaking away from reality and switching to my own inner abstract world.
I’m able to explore different styles of art and continue to grow as an artist.
