Marine painting became his characteristic style, which attracts the attention of viewers with its energy and drama. Unfortunately, because of the war in Ukraine, many of the paintings already painted in previous years could not be saved, but not despairing he took again in his hands brushes that would continue to create from a new leaf. His life is a continuation of creating beauty and giving! He has established himself as a marine painter, dedicated to depicting the turbulent behavior of the ocean, waves and the historic ships of past times. Inspired by the history of navigation and the romance of the sea, I strive to convey the power and unpredictability of the ocean by creating emotionally intense works of art. My paintings convey the atmosphere of suspense and adventure that accompanied the maritime expeditions of bygone times.
