Freedom's Prisoner Painting

The story behind the painting: “Hope” is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all And sweetest in the Gale is heard And sore must be the storm That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm I’ve heard it in the chillest land And on the strangest Sea Yet, never, in Extremity, It asked a crumb of Me.” (Emily Dickinson) Rendered Jewels collection: In my Rendered Jewels I explore a deeper part of my psyche, featuring realistic and figurative portraits, mixing them with abstractly formed lines and forms, intuitive colourful splashes, colour transitions, and Magic Light®. I use both realism and abstraction to express the ideas I accumulate from the Universe and combine it with what is going on inside me, inside my soul. I am intrigued by the fleeting balance between strength and fragility, tranquility, action, connection in the universe, nature, and the human mind. My paintings are inspired by my spiritual and philosophical search for answers to life, the purpose of living, love, existence. Every painting I create is a piece of my artistic answer to those “searches”. I use mixed media and Magic Light® so that the paintings glow in the dark and the "unseen" is revealed. What is hidden at daytime secretly reveals itself at night in the intimacy and privacy of the viewer’s world.
