London Based Digital Abstraction Artist And Keen Photographer, New To SaatchiArt.

I love to produce artworks which are memorable and create a whirl of emotions in the viewer. I find inspiration in the concept of quantum universe and happily blend it with bright colours and ambiguous simplicity to depict life around us, often with an unexpected angle.

Many of my works may seem simple at the first glance. But let your mind rest on the piece and additional details will emerge, sometimes creating secondary or tertiary meaning, or may be even completely reversing your initial impressions. .

I am not rigidly attached to any particular style or color scheme and happily work both with minimalist geometry-based shapes (often combining 2D and 3D effects) and with colorful fluid images in multitudes of shapes and forms. These styles may seem as being at somewhat different sides of abstract art creation but I find that shifting between various forms helps me to not get too attached to a single viewpoint and enables greater receptiveness and creativity. I will be sharing both types of works.

My objectives are:
Colour.
Naive Simplicity.
Ambiguity and Emotion

I am self taught. Many of my previous works were done in oil paints and pastels, depicting family scenes, portraits, landscapes and cityscapes as well as some abstract works.

Currently I produce most of my works in digital format, often (though not always) using photography as a starting point either for the image or for the parts of the image. Digital editing allows much greater flexibility, especially with creating backgrounds, blending and adding small details, which are important for me to create this type of abstract art.
