“I shut my eyes in order to see”
The author of this wisdom is one of my favourite artists, the French painter Paul Gauguin. I have yet to discover a more brilliant one.
Art has been part of life since prehistoric times and, with me, since my early childhood. I discovered the beauty and power of art, especially fine art, from a very early age.
When I was at high school,
I fell in love with art history, which I decided to combine with studying tourism.
Thanks to work and having a family, art soon turned into an occasional hobby.
Now art is firmly back in my life as a means to express myself and relax.
I am constantly trying to develop a relationship with visual art and the whole field of visual culture,
so I can perceive the beauty of nature and the aesthetic values in what is happening around us.
As I believe that a creative outlook enriches our lives immensely,
my aim is to promote creativity not only in the field of fine arts but also in my entire way of thinking.
.
Painting is my joy, pleasure, relaxation and helps me express my feelings.
I like to try new techniques, but mostly I work with acrylic paints on canvas.
I don't have a favourite style, because I find “my thing" in the precision of realistic drawing
and the simplicity and effectiveness of modern contemporary art.
I like to be inspired by nature and symbols. Hidden meanings have a special place in my work.
I will be delighted if you choose one of my paintings to decorate your home. I hope it provides you with as much pleasure as it gave me when I was creating it.
