It is only me and the stars, dear! Painting

My creative practice combines decades long devotion to painting on canvas, with more impulsive process of working with paper, making figurative cut outs compositions. Both ways serve my need to deeply understand different human conditions in the ever changing World. My creations are often sourced and triggered by folklore narratives and mythical journeys. Finding links between past and present stories, looking for relations underline the content of my work. Influences in my work can be traced in several directions. Orthodox murals, Pre renaissance paintings and Magic realism. The colour palette I have developed often reminds of Medieval Christian murals. Intertwining their imagery and symbols with fresh contemporary meaning is essential for me to tell a story.
