Why am I doing this? That's part of me. This is an additional opportunity for the senses. I see, I feel, I hear and at the same time I hear and see through the filter of the subconscious and fix it on the canvas. In essence, it is giving shape to the formless. Thus sadness in the form of green figs was embodied, and out of fear, faith in oneself was born - in the form of a lifeline on the canvas. Just as any morning drawn can be a birth and a night can be death. Any creative work is a coded message of the subconscious. The code is hidden in the image, color and light. They complement each other and create a new emotion. At the same time, there is contact with the viewer through the paintings. Observation and seeing are two categories of viewer. And those who are on the same frequency as the artist can stop, think, go into their inner world, and maybe find answers to some questions, or make them serious, or optician happy, or cry. It's all feedback and it's all important. Diving into the atmosphere of painting and uniting with your inner world is the goal. Theme: objects, symbols, emotions, characters, nature, colors and shadows. Style: Impressionism, sometimes figurative symbolism. Material preparation: photos, videos, memories are mixed with emotions, idea. Tools and equipment: oil paints or acrylic, brushes, palette knife.
