I have begun my career as a bookbinder but the passion for artistic expression drove me first to immerse myself in the world of artistic books, even very sculpture-like forms. Later when I studied to become a visual artist painting has risen to be my primary form of expression. My paintings, created with ink and acrylic paint, are mostly telling tales of everyday life, even though their mode of expression is quite abstract. I get a lot of inspiration from music and also by observing and listening to my environment I internalize things that I then bring out to the world through my emotions.
I strive to paint emotions and moods very simply with as little strokes as possible through lines and movements. Color is an additional element that allows me to deeper my subject matter and express my emotions more intensely. My style of painting is very intuitive which is why the preliminary thinking and observing is vital. Ink painting on paper is a delicate work; each stroke of the brush, each line and each shade of black and grey have to appear exactly in the right place and in the right form in order to achieve the right atmosphere. This is a meditative phase for me; I paint out the things I ponder but not necessarily identify at the time, I paint the pulse for my work. Then I listen to the work to see what else it needs in order to convey a specific subject or mood.
