About The Artwork

Sometimes our world is too frantic, sometimes its frenzy takes our soul away and lefts us sad and weak. In those moments, we do need to get back in touch with ourselves. There are many ways to do so. One of my favorite is to stop for a while, prepare a nice cup of coffee and sit for a few moments. If there is a slice of cake, even better! I sit down, smell the fresh-made coffee, enjoy the cake taste and stay in the present. Just here and now. This work synthetically describes this situation. The tiles on the background are a symbol of how our lives work – some piece is missing, some other is definite and bright or a bit blurry and fading. The focus, however, is on the present, the only moment we can live in, the only one that really counts. In this case, it seemed fun to play with the roughness of my support. The canvas surface seemed too smooth to me, so I added some creased paper. This added to my work many beautiful “wrinkles” where the light can hesitate and hide. Framed with wood batons – no additional framing required. Ready to hang.

Transformation, light and the mixing of old techniques with new materials play a leading role in my recent production. The main link between my works is a quest for harmony, an attempt to describe the inner – and sometimes hidden – elegance of trivial matters. Ethereal female figures inspired by ancient Myths, flowers, fruits, peacocks and other pieces of reality are depicted in my bright figurative style that recalls the great tradition of European painting, especially the analytic approach in describing reality that was typical of both Van Eyck and the Pre-Raphaelites. My strokes are normally clean and the images neat, however I sometimes focus on a specific part of a painting, especially when an unexpected element - such as a Plexiglas layer - is inserted into the composition. In this way, the incredible potentiality of oil painting flourishes through the clear lines of a feature, in opposition to the blurriness of another one. My quest towards the soul of things pushes me often toward portraiture, this wonderful game of mirrors where the individuality of the artist merges into the inner self of the model.
