I am an artist and a diver. I use art to explore the beauty of universe, by reaching the depths of the sea and the sky, and vastnes of the horizons. These are the source of inspiration, along with landscapes, particulary mountains.
My medium mostly is oil on canvas, I use expressive colours to depict nature, paying attention to compossition, perspective and depth. I use pallete knife for mountains and rocks to get that 3d shape to enhance impression of its massiveness and beauty.
