Artist Statement‍

“Human form is the dominant element in my art. In this way, my work simultaneously gains a unique humanistic and existential aspect. The heroes of my paintings are flesh and blood figures tangled in a web of various dependencies and constraints, which have their origins both in human relations, and the internal experiences and dilemmas of the people in each composition. The composition is usually limited to one person, sometimes two. They are placed in a confined space, even if it is a landscape scene. The figure blends with it and passes through it. This allows me to suggest a direct relationship that is not just physical, but is above all a mental relationship between individual characters and their surroundings.

What I’m finding important are the narrative character of works, the element of narration, yet one that separates what is presented from what that which is presented signifies. I’m presenting forms that yield to the law of gravity, being at the same time gifted with irony and sarcasm.”
