boat in port Painting

I am constantly trying to bridge the gap between contemporary art and classical work from nature, between design and art as a process. I love experiments in creativity. Recently, bright colors, stylization, images of characters have been interesting. But the fun part is creating fantastic worlds. I always want the picture to be a window to a kind world, like an amulet to protect us from a cruel reality. My paintings are filled with symbols. I want the viewer to look with a child's eyes again, an alien about amazing things, thinking about how different or the same we are, about the cultures imposing their views. I am inspired by surrealism and oriental art, creation of worlds and painting from nature.
