ARTIST'S STATEMENT

In my landscape art, I aim to capture the essence of transient moments and immortalize the fleeting, ephemeral aspects of nature. The interplay of light and the blend of hues, the fluidity of movement, and the evocative mood all inspire me in my work. I seek to encapsulate the elusive momentum of life itself. I hope my symbolic landscapes have power to lift the human spirit, by delivering beauty provide meaning and give hope.

My works are in private collections in Germany, Austria, UK, USA and Poland.
