S.S.I.O. #3: His heart

Concept

I use different kinds of art: painting, drawing and sculpture, sometimes combining them. I portray people, nature and my own thoughts. Often my tools for interpreting the meaning of artwork are allegories and metaphors, abstract symbols and unique patterns.

I find something wonderful in the grey everyday life. I display that part of the world that's hard to take my eyes off of. It could be a naked body, a flower, or a random ray of sunshine. In my subjects, I also show the other side of the essence of this object of a surreal or abstract style. It's an inherent part of the world order - everything has two sides at least.

In my artworks I explore subconscious phenomena, feelings and desires, I interpret my philosophical reflections on the construction of the human personality and its relation to the outside world. I explore Reality, integrating elements that may not exist but which reflect the atmosphere and mood, the deep meaning of the moment depicted.

From this quest comes the hallmark of my artworks - the combination of classical and expressive painting techniques. In composition and subject matter I juxtapose brightly accented spots of colour or technique and complement them with contrasting textural elements. I often incorporate unique ornaments into my paintings, using the author's patterns of varying complexity.
