Statement
Bare landscapes and open spaces, old cities and derelict houses inspire my paintings. I find these subjects rich in cultural traditions and often forgotten history, but also related to abandonment and displacement.
Starting from observations and preliminary sketches, I create my own imaginative version of a place. Being in the role of a visual interpreter of my thoughts and feelings allows me to look at a landscape as an emotional statement as well. By creating a level of ambiguity, I try to lead the viewer towards their own interpretation, based on their personal perceptions and sensations.
I use multiple semi-transparent layers of paint so that to achieve deep and exciting colours. In any subject, the light plays a very important role. It brings the canvas to live, creating depth through strong contrast, or sometimes a dream-like quality through subtle transitions. I pay significant attention to the fusion between contrasting colour fields.
In each work, I aim to achieve a unity of space, darkness and light, using visual textures while preserving the freshness of the initial idea to produce a unified and compelling painting.
