Artist Statement
When I am looking at a painting, I realize that it attracts me much more than a beautiful landscape outside. Why? Perhaps viewing a piece of art is similar to a dialogue with its creator, who must have felt and experienced a lot before he picked up a brush and dipped it in paint. Of course, nobody can compete with nature, which works miracles of beauty. Even art fails if it tries to surpass it, but as an artist, I am bound to keep attempting the impossible, for it is the supreme temptation of creativity. The images that I reflect in my art often come to me with the ephemeral streaks of sunset and with the tremulous shadows of night, but even more often they are born of the long and crowded days that line up, striving to linger in my memory. Nothing fascinates and inspires me more than human nature. Storms and calm of the human soul are the preeminent subjects of my art. less
