An artist ' s statement
E ven though it is still a bald artistic decision I create very classical art pieces. I am hoping to build a new movement of European art modeling itself after Dutch, Flemish, Spanish and Italian schools.
Bringing together and reawakening enthusiasm for the Old Masters work and the urgent need for renewed reverence for reality, by bringing back skills and spirit of the preimpressionist painters.
My desire is to remind the audience we carry as human beings emotions, memory and dream. There are things in life that unite people. Art seems to be universal: feeling, color, our sensory reaction to it. I create visual art of perfect workshop, without falling back on experiment just for exercising experiment.
There is so much evil and ugliness nowadays, that I would like everybody looking at my paintings to associate them with feelings of beauty and good only. That is why women are my favorite painting objects. I try to show their beauty and endless mystery by means of chiaroscuro, where light always wins, just like good overcomes evil.
