Artist's thoughts ...
My main goal is to explore the relationship between nature
and spirituality. To create a sensitive portrayal of the natural
world that will take the viewer beyond a simple mirrored reflection
of nature. To take a viewer on breathtaking journeys of light,
where color softens and intensifies, waxes and wanes with
the rise and disappearance of the Sun.
Color to me is light of the Sun. It lives, it moves, it vibrates ...
In order to capture the light, I try to carefully observe the fields and riverbanks of surrounding areas.
What fascinates me most in the quiet beauty of nature is its ability to change from one moment to the next.
To me nature is not a picturesque background of human activity, but the main object of our inspiration.
I try to not only describe what it looks like, but let the viewer know how it feels to be there.
By fully capturing the atmosphere of my surroundings I try to share with the viewers my intimate experience.
