JK23-0905 Flavours of Light Painting

All of my paintings are created without using any brushes. The only tools I use in a process of painting are palette knifes and different blades. In most of the cases, main subject of my paintings is human body. Character in the painting is always based on a real person. Each model plays very important part in creation of the artwork. I always get to know my sitter before starting to create the composition of a particular piece. But the most important part of my work is a LIGHT! That's a biggest inspiration, mystery and obsession of my mind while I am working on a painting. My approach is - to devote as much attention to the light as possible. The light is very powerful tool to express your thoughts and emotions. I am always looking for a most suitable angle of a light source, intensity of the light, reflecting surfaces... Have been working on it for many years, and I am still fascinated how often there is a new surprise just round the corner. Usually it reflects more than our perception is able to digest.
