Concept

Figurative painting in various compositions seems to me to be the most appropriate way of sharing my view of the world with others, and, most importantly, it is a means of showing the world and preserving it. The mirror of imagination – it is a canvas reflecting subconscious imagery, filled with the impressions of everyday life. The time preserved in colour and form on the canvas becomes a major painting inspiration. I find reasons and motivation to paint in the people I meet, in the things around me, in the urban space or surrounding landscape. They all emanate energy, which is both motivating and inspiring. My compositions are close to the ideas contained in the works of surrealists, which, in my youth, had a great impact on my artistic endeavours. My subject matter and my materials are extremely important in the creative process. Thus, I always do the craft-related task myself, as they have a decisive impact on the type of picture that will emerge. The creation of a painting is a ritual, which naturally consists of such activities as stretching your own canvas on a frame, priming and grounding it. These activities are extremely significant and important to the continuity of the creative process. In fact, they are critical to the quality of the painting, clarity and colour fastness. In the painting technique I use a multilayer method of saturating colour, creating the substance of space and form. Canvases are a type of mirrors, which, on its white prime surface, reflect images directed by the imagination, the subconscious and one’s awareness of the world. All the above are manifested in the subject which is central and closest to my heart, that is Man, his journey in time and space, relations with other people resulting from forced, accidental or intended encounters, as well as dialogues and monologues aiming at harmony.
