Sensation - Limited Edition of 1 Artwork

I am a contemporary, expressionist figurative award winning artist (Royal Academy of London, Hugh Casson Drawing Award, 2014)working in acrylics, ecoline and lately in digital. By combining handmade drawings and paintings with possibilities offered by technology, I blend illustrative elements with conventional painting and works on paper, thus creating an effective language of my own through my use of traditional techniques and new media. Intertwining expressionist elements –which have become more prominent in my most recent works– and quasi-fictional narrative images, I create works which establish an intense perceptional connection with the audience. Ranging from optimistic to bleak, these works are impressive visual designs with their use of colors and their dynamic linear compositions, and they radiate a graceful and poetic sensibility. I create large-scale painting portraits that are both vibrant and full of contrast inspired by observing different types of people thriving together. Human faces often work like triggers for me, launching the imagination and the process of producing art. Whether I paint the human body or portraits, It’s a combination of conflicting and complementary internal movements; excitement, anxiety, pleasure, vertigo, attraction, doubt and acceleration.  The fusion of color is, perhaps, the best attribute to characterize my paintings. Bright colors within the entire palette, high contrast, and seemingly chaotic mixture of multiple layers, which in the final result create the ultimate harmony of the human spirit.
