Emotions Painting

How to best describe myself? Selective discoverer, painter of emotions perhaps. My perception of art has evolved over the years and so did my perception of the world. I can now consciously select what interests me most and no longer feel the need to seek for fancy themes. My work revolves around women and landscapes. For quite a while I have painted mainly female nudes – a theme present in art since the dawn of time, clichéd and risky. I have made an attempt to sail through the sea of banal and reinvent it my way, find my own form and lines. When painting female bodies and my surroundings I am always looking for a balance between expression, elegance and geometry. I'm trying to grasp a pure, geometrical expression of emotions. In my work expression of both form and colour constitute the core of the whole composition. Sometimes I think of my paintings as sculptures, defined by sharp line contours. My goal is for my art to cause emotions rather than be a subject of interpretation. In our visually overloaded culture it is a huge success to make someone stop and feel something about an artwork. Overall however, a value of perception and potential interpretation does not match the intricate spectrum of experiences I go through in my own atelier, as for me painting is a great loneliness I need to go through – just me and the canvas.
