"Theatrical poppies" Painting - Limited Edition of 1

I always begin painting with harmony in my soul and... a cup of brewed coffee within a hand's reach. The process of creation is like a dialogue between me and my imagination; between me and my soul; between me and my senses; between me and the music. Through painting I celebrate colors, flavors, dreams, the nuances of texture and...LIGHT. Capturing the light is everything(!). I create according to rhythms from Nature, poems, and moods absorbed from melodies. Abstract art is like music because of patterns, harmony, repetitions, accents, musical phrases,.. and the emotional escape from the real world into a dream, like stare of mind. When I paint I always listen to music. Music forms the painting, making thoughts more concise, comprising the ideas, visualizing the feelings; working together with the paint to create vivid emotions through the bright colors and sudden shapes. Light is like a cup of good coffee; it is an additional dimension; reflecting the meaning of the visual concept, bringing clarity and understanding of shapes and colors onto the canvas. Everything I observe, on a day-to-day basis can be defined and experienced on a much deeper level through senses of art. I present this theory through visual presentations- painting, photography, videos, art teaching, as well as other various forms of abstract art.
