ARTIST STATEMENT

 

I love to paint flowers when I am happy, and animals when they interest me, dark landscapes when I am sad, and vortexes when thinking about life.

I get my inspiration from the nature which amazes me and gives me assurance in its beauty and endless supply of my inspirational material. I take lots of pictures, and later use the images for some of my paintings.

My hope is that the observer when viewing the painting, can see the same thing I saw while creating it. I simplify some images and accent others, so my pictures are not like a photography.

We all see nature through different eyes and are influenced by it in different ways. I borrow just "a cloud of inspiration" from nature, and without hurting it or even touching it, humbly admiring; I put it on my canvas.
