Artist Statement
As a child, I dreamt as full and wide as any other, and the dream was simple then: I wanted to be an artist. I drew every day and practiced with as much passion and pure intent as any other child. Now I am an artist because I want to relay to others my true self.
I like to be surrounded by beauty. My sense of beauty comes from the ancient and contemporary paintings. I am inspired by Michelangelo, Vladimir Dimitrov – Maistora, Erin Hanson, Endre Penovác, Alexander Ilichev …
I paint the impression of what is the person, light, atmosphere, object, or landscape with a lot of bright vibrant colors.
I take pleasure in listening to music. It helps me recharge and bring me joy. I like attending music concerts. I absolutely love cooking. My grandmother has always been a wonderful cook, and I feel she is my inspiration. I find cooking very therapeutic.
My current project is a painting with a working title “X-ray portrait”. I get very excited while creating it. So beautifully expressed with a direct connection to the mystical.
