Choices of themes:
My works mirror often my personal involvement. I find inspiration in moments of interpersonal relationships. Joy, happiness but also pain are emotions that I deal with in my paintings.
Wings are often a central focus as well as koi´s.
The wings can indicate an angelic creature as well as the contrary. - The word angel comes from the Greek word "aggelos" and means messenger. Angels are symbols of the energies of all light beings, powerful companions and energy boosters.

Aesthetic Philosophy:
Simplicity with abstract elements
Personal Thoughts:
I believe in values. - They can be distinguished in mental, moral, religious and private values. I believe in kindness, loyalty, honesty, tact, wisdom, discipline and good manners. These intangible assets are impulses that move people to a specific behaviour and can help him a purpose in life. By breaking out of the familiar and traditional values, people can easily overcome a sense of futility.
Our behaviour has effects - everything is connected - therefore criticism on our society is not always inevitable
Intangible assets are ideas that are considered within a social group of people or within a society as desirable. The values are the basis of a society, therefore, they are constitutive elements of a culture. Every culture has different values, but they change with each new generation.
These standards can help people in making their decisions, but at the same time affect their personal freedom.
Freedom is important to me. There is nothing worse for a man than to be stagnating, therefore it is important to think out of the box, beyond the known limit.
