PERSONAL STATEMENT
I am convinced that art is a miracle just like talent is God's gift.
I believe that by creating the images on the walls of Lascaux and Altamira caves, the Cro-Magnon Man was intuitively satisfying his need to communicate with God. The same spiritual desire is a characteristic of all real artists throughout history. When I paint I look for the hidden energy and the invisible essence of the surrounding world. I combine natures shapes and colors with the imagination of dreams and of the subconscious which creates the combination of all that fulfills the artwork. When creating a painting, I use two basic different methods. On the one hand I try to create the objects analytically, and on the other hand I let intuition and emotions work as I listen to the voice of my heart. When I find the right balance the result is always good. With my work I want to show my desire for the harmony of nature and people. I am happy when I can create a spirited and soulful image. I am working in different fields of fine arts, like paintings, drawings, stage decoration and murals using oil, acrylic and mix media techniques. |
