I forgot about myself
Since early childhood I been grow up in art gymnasium with classic academic painting skills.

Paintings express true passion for substantial and rich aesthetic creativity. The scenes are immensely powerful, truly expressive and shine full of lively presence- very strong. Elegant, well researched and captured complex and selected moments, at the same time paintings appear light, humble and sustainable modern, yesterday and tomorrow. The embedded emotions let the imagination flow and suggest the subject movement. The paintings remains physically static- but to observing eyes, it feeds a subjective impression of the movement.
