Questions/answers
– Are there any key themes, messages or theories behind your work?
I love colours, really love so much. The first what child could start to understand starting from colours – and when you become older nothing change – first we explore emotionally everything with colours and just after with our brains. In abstraction artworks my main goal to give a positive emotions to human – not about happiness like laughs – a happiness like when you seat close to the seaview what you feel, when you walking thought green forest with fresh air and etc – it´s all about deep emotions.In my graphic artworks I have main topic – it´s hands. Human hands. Why they? Because hands speak more about a person’s life than his tongue. About his character. And we always hold with our hands what is dear to us.
– Could you tell us a bit about your artistic approach? (Style, medium and specific techniques.)
I like different materials. For many years I have been working with enamel, I love this material for it’s solid structure, smooth surface and infinitely bright and deep glossy colors.In the same time I like soft pastel the same – its different – its deep also but it´s something about shadows and soul, not emotions. Nowadays I mixe this too material in some my artworks and thing it´s just a start for something new in my art career.
– Please write a personal quote/sentence that best represents you as an artist (in your own words, max. 30 words.)
In my paintings I try to maintain my madness within the boundaries of reason. The subject matter might change, but my love for color and passion for life remain. Pendulum of Extremes.
