ARTIST STATEMENT:
I am a contemporary artist. My work is not representational, it is rather a bit abstracted and symbolic. with minimal use of colour. In my practice I focus on the emotions of man and the passing of time as a source of transformation on us, people.
Painting gives me a sense of freedom and provides opportunities to convey my feelings and my thoughts with a certain level of reality. I am exploring the relationship between connection and separation, between the individual self and our busy existence. I like to create illusion of empty space, with somewhat symbolic elements to convey absents, isolation and memory.
To achieve depth in my paintings, I use many layers of oil, sometimes mixed with cold wax and oil glazes. Little ‘traveller’ often placed on my paintings, is the symbol of the anonymous replica standing in for the “everyman,” and emphasize the individual or shared experiences of life during passing time and its rapidly changing conditions, when new becomes by fading the old.
