My works are based in various psychological, philosophical and mythological aspects. Each image represents a certain environment and a symbolic target and framework.
I want to let the viewer perceive and interpret picture in much deeper dimension, to feel and listen to their impulses and signals transmitted by their subconscious mind. The viewer has to think deeper, ask questions and to seek for answers within himself, because the symbolic meaning of works and images I have created are not just based on subjective impulses. I have strived to encode my works with a more universal meaning, which is rooted in each individual's collective unconscious archetypes.
I am an esthete and strive for harmony and balance, which includes peace and tension at the same time. When composing a painting, I’m looking for breakpoint that does not allow reproduced becoming banal luscious. I work in the traditional manner of painting and want to develop and maintain the professional mastery (quality) criteria, both technically and with such content level.
