In painting, I am guided by emotions, even inanimate objects or abstract works, I endow living energy. I believe in the power of energy that attracts the viewer. It is important for me to tell a story in my works, to make the viewer think, to dream up. Many of my works are done expressively, with coarse thick strokes of a palette knife, sometimes a combination of lightness of the stroke and pastiness (impasto) can be found in one picture. I have to experiment to show my style and originality. In abstract works, feelings, mood are always expressed, a certain meaning is hidden. in figurative painting there is always a drama, a story told, the character of my heroes is shown. Over the course of 5 years of my creative path, I have been looking for and studying the depths of painting skills, which will subsequently give recognition to my style. Each of my paintings is a separate world with my eyes, sometimes pairs are formed, thus one picture complements the other, thereby continuing the story told by me, saturating it with new shades.
