Artist's Statement

In my art, the human element is central—their raw essence, life principles, emotions, interactions with the world, and the beauty mirrored within them. Therefore, my work encompasses figurative, abstract, surrealistic, and stylized elements.

I utilize various styles and techniques, discovering intriguing methods for self-expression in the process—this defines my style. I like to draw this way, changing styles and directions, striving to master various new techniques, using different materials—oil, acrylic, ink, watercolour, charcoal, pencil, canvas, cardboard and paper. This is how I explore the previously unknown to me, expanding my possibilities. I hope this will help others discover their unique ways of expressing creativity in the future.

I frequently use a pencil to make sketches and drawings, outlining my ideas. This process aids in discovering a form that resonates deeply and soulfully with my internal experience, a theme that reflects my current state. These sketches guide me in selecting the manner and technique that most resonates with me at the moment. I draw with coloured ink intuitively, beginning with a single point, spot, or line, without knowing where it will take me. Yet, there is an inner force that has evolved into a desire to create. By deconstructing the objective, I forge an abstract resonance of a specific form. In this, I place my trust in the spontaneous and the random.

Internal abstract forms resonate on their own, while the depicted figure retains its inner and outer essence. Using acrylic on cardboard, my pencil sketches act as guides, suggesting the direction for the painting's concept. From there, I delve into full improvisation, a process that can also lay the groundwork for creating an oil painting on canvas.

Flowing Form. Surrealism. Abstract internal elements like flowing spots, lines, and drops generate a resonance, influencing the movement of the depicted external form. These relief images, both similar and distinct, seem to dissolve into the painting's space, creating a new form. This evokes a sense of anticipation for the unfolding process.
