I’m fascinated by the human figure, by patterns and how to represent
space on a two-dimensional canvas. I’m making my unknown – known. I would like to call myself “a child at play”, who can be drawn to different objects and topics. I’m not limiting myself in the search for new forms and patterns, and my goal is to invent new realities.

I’m interested in painting that could be perceived in a similar way to music, creating energy, transforming someone’s feelings. As an author, illustrator and ex-filmmaker, I’m enjoying writing stories and illustrating them in simpler black and white drawings, but also in colorful and rich palette.

I’m looking to create new experiences for the viewer. I want to allow the beholder to perceive the beauty, the joy, the mystery and the unknown, which belongs to the unexplained part of life. As an illustrator I’m trying to channel my observations and thoughts about life and show that the ordinary and usual is in truth – extraordinary and very special.
