Artist Statement

I paint beloved and familiar landscapes from my immediate surroundings and the north of my country, at different seasons and times. The thinking is influenced by the Impressionist current, whereby the painters repeatedly painted the same places at different times while expressing their feelings.
I often work in my studio, sometime using a photo file as an inspiration combining landscape details from several photos and creating one painting.
Thus I create a kind of fantastic, imaginative landscapes with large and fast strokes, without careful planning, like a painting in the consciousness of a dream, in the colorfulness of the most intense which express my energetic character . I create mainly on medium and large canvases, sometimes the painting is on one surface and sometimes it consists of several adjacent surfaces, where each part can be a work in itself but also be part of a larger work, a modular work, consisting of a variety of parts that create large physical spaces. Like endless panels.
I often paint in strong and optimistic colors that also give me a sense of hope, joy and vitality, daring and energy, while reflecting on my inner world. Recently I have been painting abstract paintings.
