ARTIST STATEMENT

For me, art is generally physical and spiritual manifestation of the man approaching his Creator. I have always had this creative feeling, something inside me, that guides me – I assume this happens with every single artist. I think the artist is a mediator between society and the world as he sees it and that’s an important and motivating role for him because the artist creates messages, concepts, and images that influence on the viewer.

Generally, I focus mostly on painting and graphics but I also approach and experiment with subjects in the field of conceptual and digital art. I have always been captivated by the human figure in paintings and drawings, but even now I gladly paint themes inspired from nature, mostly landscapes, but at the moment I am more focused on the valences of the human figure.

In my paintings I use the juxtapositions of elements of the human figure but also of natural origin, to convey a certain concept. I am fascinated by the human , not anatomically, but psychologically and socially. Many times I try to represent the abstract through material forms that at first sight are not recognizable, but after a closer look become more real. Another subject I research is the concept of life/death, beauty/ugliness, more specifically the dualism we find everywhere. I am fascinated by the idea of transformation, the human, and the animal, and I try to show this in my works.
