Biografia
Over the past ten years my work has transformed from semi-realistic, simplified close-ups of my subjects, mainly flowers, into a floating compositions that merge abstract expressionism with a touch of realism. It’s a journey to another, undiscovered world and to identify with the sensitivity in the world around us. In my paintings, I don’t intend to replicate objects as photo-realistic objects, but to capture the utmost uniqueness of life. Illustrating my subjects, I often pay no attention to shapes, textures, or real colors and emphasize just on a small fragment, sometimes a very tiny detail, in order to insinuate an idea. That approach leads me to concentrate on what I feel and not what I see or know about the subject. Also, it helps me to effectively use visuals to depict a story about my subject. My art captures just an indication of a subject to leave the rest for my viewer’s imagination to create the unique picture.
