I see and build poetry using colors, texture, and shapes. There is an internal and an external world. Each of us sees and feels in an unrepeatable way. Our experiences and introspections shape how we see and sense the world. I constantly analyze my senses and feelings as I see my surroundings.I try to build harmony on the surface of my compositions, which are developed using textured paint, lines, shapes, and colors. My paintings reflect the objects and surroundings processed through a specific visual language. In some way, they are like poems dedicated to a certain place and time.I sense the world sharply, just like a child. I outline and analyze the beauty and do my best to create a “separate spiritual world” on my canvases so that my artworks can have their own lives. I paint purely and honestly what I sense and what comes from deep within. Being very distinctive about it, if my artwork speaks to you, it means there is a place for that art in this world. I have participated in numerous exhibitions in the USA and Europe. My artworks were featured in American Art Collector magazine ( issue 138). You can also see my artworks in many movies and series on various channels.
