Artist Statement
My intention as an artist is to create a unique and immersive experience not only a painting. I am influenced by the pure and authentic spirit of the nature. Sometimes only a thought about a place I am planning to visit could trigger a new idea for a painting.
My paintings are meditative, some of them very colourful and strong, others pastel in colour. I try to convey elements of my experiences of the places I have been. The colours of Cuba, the Scandinavia landscape, the dramatic skies of England or the sunlit Mediterranean.
My subject matter is drawn from the abstract forms in the nature with a strong connection to the ocean and the changing mood of the sky. Big oceans and skies inspire me to slow down, take a deep breath and expand my soul, to connect with nature and embrace its freedom.
I hope my work gives you the opportunity to feel similarly.
Using a variety of materials, I paint freely, exploring new effects to create work which is sometimes textural or sometimes more transparent with a dripping effect. I love to work in layers. Long hours of layering help me to find the right balance of colour and depth, with the combined balance of sweeping brush strokes, or the dripping of paint to imbue my work with a sense of the authenticity and independence.
