I am an artist since I was born. I create from the moment when I was pulled out from my mother’s womb in 1983. All kinds of art and crafts have been a basis of my existence, no matter if the results were used professionally or as a hobbyist. It’s hard to list all fields of art in which I have found my fulfillness - it’s such a big number ;)
Recently I focus on surreal and abstract acrylic painting. A characteristic of most of my paintings are dense and precise patterns, which compose simple forms. It’s a complexity of simplicity, showed by me by two reasons. First is my love for complicated constructions and ornaments. The second one is my way of perceiving the world as seemingly chaotic structure, from which a deeper meaning emerges after all. Observing the nature, I find both in it- honest simplicity and chaos, complexity and variety, that compose that simplicity. Those characteristics are universal in my opinion, not only in nature but also in everyday life of civilized human.
I am self taught. When got to the moment of my life, when I could choose my education, I purposely decided not to study arts. I’ve been convinced that I have to keep my creative freedom, independence and spontaneity - those are necessary conditions for my arts to become reality.
It’s a pleasure to invite you all to see my artworks.
