"Humpbacks underwater" Painting

From a young age, I was drawn to various artistic pursuits, whether it was playing musical instruments, singing, or drawing. These passions have been with me throughout my entire life, and I feel like the desire to express my true self was simply born within me, further amplified by life's unfolding events. My greatest motivation is to create works that draw the observer into the painting, allowing them to fully experience their emotions. In these fast-paced times, I increasingly perceive the importance of the connection between humans and nature, of understanding their natural laws. In a world full of technology and a focus on reason and performance, a major imbalance arises, along with a lack of ability to truly feel and express what we actually experience. Art helps us pause and merge with the moment, allowing us to perceive and release turbulent emotions that would otherwise have no outlet, leading to various physical pains. The aim of my paintings is to remind us of the gift of life and evoke feelings that reflect what truly holds deep value in life. When I paint, time stops for me, and nothing else exists in that moment but the emerging image in front of me. I believe that this pure state transfers into the paintings exactly what they are meant to evoke in people. Indeed, those who are touched by my paintings experience a sense of release through my motifs, especially if they struggle to find it in today's fast-paced world. They find themselves in a slowed-down time-space and can immerse themselves completely in it. I also paint commissions and am open to collaborations for book or music album covers and others, just send me a message for more info. I mainly use oil paints, but I also enjoy working with other mediums like watercolor or pastel. I came to painting as a self-taught artist, which allows me to incorporate my own unique style. I love studying the works of realistic painters from the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as those who draw inspiration from them.
