About The Artwork

My initial idea came from the ancient greek myth of Leda and the swan, used later in the Renaissance. I used the collage with newspapers and tried to combine gouache and ink on the surface. I usually work in oil on canvas technique. Sometimes I combine acrylic with hand made paper, adding structure pastes, dried flowers, glues, pieces of newspapers and self drying ceramics. In my drawings I use ink, gouache, dry brush and lavis techniques on paper. I have been working professionally as an artist for nearly 20 years. I spent the last 10 years of travelling in Europe and other countries around. Hundreds of people, views, architectures, cultures and traditions inspired me for a new and vivid art expression. My participations in several international expositions encouraged me to take a part of more public shows. The audience has no ages and nationalities. It captures an unadulterated joy of happiness. When they react, this keeps me motivated. In the figurative style I use the qualities of the mixture between light, texture and color, making portraits of women or couples. I sometimes mix the techniques with ceramics, handmade paper, dried flowers, structure pastes, varak, acrylic and oil colors. In the naïf style I simplify and stylize these little figures, expressing all my joy of the color’s explosion and the humoresque in the themes. This vital energy recharges me and my audience as well. The compositions are filled with a variety of personages and decorative objects – figures of women, the couple as a symbol of love, cats, birds and bulls, fruits, flowers and trees, houses, lamps or vases. The expressions are stylized and simplified but the dynamics of the objects and the color’s depth thrive on cheerful and spectacular patterns of energy. Shimmering pink and purple, endless turquoise, permanent and almost neon green, warm orange and saturated vermillion enhance the magic and joy in striking compositions of the little heroes living in a parallel world.
