The light surface of these works change colour depending on the direction of the light so darker tones reflect through inter ones. Multicolored brush strokes lying in air can be seen as melodies, poetry or asemic text.

Surface is painted with multiple layers with brushstrokes that empahaisize movement and the materialistic feel of something old and ancient. Painting reacts to the direction of light as the opacity of colour.

Atmosphere in the painting is harmonious, mystic and peacefull.
