“The light, the color and magic in the current moment are inspirations in my art. I find exciting to provoke the audience’s imagination to see a story and feel emotions when looking at the painting. Light, colour, nature, metaphor, mood, and emotion - these are some key words in my art themes. I focus on landscapes, cityscapes in my watercolor works and I like to mix the reality and fantasy world in the acrylic paintings. Acrylic pouring technique is something I recently discovered. Combining pouring and detailed realistic painting together is something I really enjoy. The result of it is unique and constantly provokes my interest for new stories in my paintings. This technique is hard to control and predict exactly the final result of pouring. But this combination of accidental and controlled result I find interesting and exciting.
