What do I want to tell you with my paintings?
With my painting, I try to draw the audience’s attention to the beauty of the world around us.
It’s communication with nature that allows us to return to ourselves, to recover when we are exhausted, gives an endless source of inspiration to live and create.
I transfer it in my paintings. My painting is a call: notice the life around you and be happy!
I like to travel, as it gives an inexhaustible source of inspiration, new subjects for paintings and a bright mood for creativity. When traveling, I try to remember the mood and energy of the places I have visited, so that later I can express them on canvas. I believe that using the dynamic impasto technique allows to charge the painting with the energy of the depicted place and my own. Then the audience reads this energy when they get acquainted with my works.

All the paintings presented here are my author’s one-of-a-kind works, made with oil paints on linen canvas.
