Artist statement… get to know the artist.

They say an artist needs a mission. I say – making art, is the mission itself.

I do not know why I create – it lays deep within and even though I wonder from time to time why I go through all that pain (by the way, this is why we are called painters ) – it is a need that keeps emerging again and again.

When I paint, I convey no other message than the one from my soul – my thoughts, my feelings, my urges. I dream or feel what needs to be expressed and then I paint and see the outcome.
This can be a battle because I search for ways to reach the correct expression using divers’ materials colours, sizes etc.
I experiment until I am satisfied. This is probably why my art is called “experimental” and I like to think that my life is and has been experimental too.

I know my art might not look consistent, pointing to one style only. This is my personality. I am curious, courageous and diverse.
I solve this problem by working by collections.  A different “state of mind” expressed by different means within each collection.

Over the years my style has moved from classic, figurative to something purer and more minimalistic.
I like my art to be categorized as contemporary.

My favourite support is wood and paper, but I do work on canvases as well.
Stay curious and see what is coming next!
