Painting, Visual / Media

Simplicity of forms, the movement captured with few delicate lines and layered, bright colors became the core of my art. I experiment with different techniques like oil, pastel and aquarelle. Combine fondness for linear drawings and sketchiness with expressive, captivating brush strokes. Many of my artworks have the unsaid character; their transparency represents openness for interpretation.
Despite obvious inspiration of nature, I do not make an explicit portrait of real world; it is rather capturing some inner thoughts and reflection of the non-visual emotions.
