As an artist, painting is my chosen medium for expressing a part of my soul that cannot be captured through words alone. It's a meditative process that allows me to delve deep into my inner self and create something that feels impossible. Each brushstroke transforms me and brings me joy in self-expression.

 

My style of painting is intuitive, with no set agenda for the viewer to follow. Through the use of layers, I create an abstract world characterized by transparency, lightness, fluidity, and gentle expression. This approach allows me to create a multi-layered world of characters and emotions, with a keen sense of movement and energy.

 

Those who view my work often describe it as vibrating, charging, and fulfilling. My paintings are expansive in their use of space, color, and meaning. They form a cohesive whole that draws viewers in deeper and deeper.

 

I work with oil and mixed media on canvas, and my earlier works were compositionally dense and colorful. Over time, I have refined my approach to focus on spatiality and the use of media that best express my inner feelings. I prefer working on large formats, as they remind me that infinity always looks incomplete.

 

As an artist, I am continually searching for new ways to explore my inner self and avoid stagnation. Each new investigation brings me closer to finding freedom and the ability to truly live and breathe.
