My first memory of painting comes from the time when I was 2 or 3 years old. I was sitting with my parents drawing a picture for a competition. What was my surprise when as the youngest participant, I won! I mostly use acrylic paints. My first painting guru was Vincent van Gogh. I still like to use his colour pallet and share his passion for Japanese art. I went through the path from trying to follow painting masters to starting to believe in the power of my own imagination. In my early years I was painting animals and landscapes from my photographs. These days I focus on abstract painting. I am using some form of logic. I make references mostly to nature, also human nature and architecture, leaving room for ambiguity. There is also a space for you, my viewer, to use your own imagination and experiences to finish my work. My art is a composition of my imagination, my soul, my experiences and passions.
