GHOST STORIES

Concept

"I paint because it is an inner compulsion, a constant need and never-ending adventure of exploring the self and the creativity. This is what drives me. I paint because through painting I can literary turn the inside out and expose myself.
I am fascinated by everything that is abstract, hidden, secret, mysterious, surreal and invisible as I am by the subconscious mind and all the dimensions within us. But I am also fascinated by animals and our incredible nature with all the colors it offers. I see every painting as a story that wants to be told, that is why every painting is a process that the conscious mind doesn’t have much power to affect. The head doesn’t run the show. Every painting is a surprise, an untold tale until it is done. I feel at home in the world of abstract, here is where I live. The beauty of the world of matter gives me what I need, and my challenge is to bring those two realities together.
I always seek for what is beautiful, for what feels like magic, a lovely poetry or a soothing sound of nature and this is what I want to express in my paintings. I believe that beauty is like a cricket’s song which touches the soul and fills it with a little bit of heaven.

In photography I discovered the whole new world and the new way of expressing myself. Taking pictures opened my eyes for details around me I that I did not noticed before and it helped me to expand my creativity. I like to photograph close to the object because it gives sense of intimacy. Then I strive to create surreal effects by manipulating photos and working with layers.
My teacher ones told me when he looked at my paintings:
-You have too many stiles, it’s too many of you. You have to choose one and stick to it!
And I answered:
-No, you stick to one and I WILL BE ALL I AM!
