Artist’s Statement
By ostensible laziness, by wandering around, by inactive stay and gazing, by getting enchanted by something I see and feel starts the process of my work. I am a painter of perceptions, although the meaning of the perception may change or weaken during the process of painting.
Painting is a meditative condition for me: a state of being and living I want to subsist, an artwork as a result. In my paintings, I am not inclined to tell long stories, to proclaim or provoke. I want to make paintings that are good to look at, good to be felt and lived in sensations and feelings over and over again, that shares the meditation and the experience of the nature. Though I cannot share my condition of painting, I can share the result of it.
In my paintings a material and essence of the base often remains as an important part of the work. These works are based with shiny polished leafs of aluminium on wood, and tone it with lack, pigments and oil color. A surface left apparent brings randomness in working but on the other hand every sign and mark plays a powerful role in the artwork.
