Flowers embody both the lush liveliness and the frailty of nature. They are an elegant, fresh and precious gift. They remind us that we are vulnerable, too. For all these reasons, they have been one of my favourite subjects for a long time. In this case, my aim was to create a harmonious work that is based on an elegant and complex contrast through the classical technique of oil painting. I searched for a balance without setting a perfect symmetry. I put together bright and dark colours, then I painted very detailed parts together with blurred ones. In the central part, a purple iris stands out against a green background. On the sides, I used only shades of brown. The flowers are painted in light-brown and beige shades, whereas in contrast the background is dark-brown. The iris is highly detailed, whereas the lilies are almost monochrome. Only a few of them are clearly depicted. The oil paint gives many shades and a peculiar light to this little painting. 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.
