In my series of works people on white, I explore human activities. These are works in which I show topics that affect our lives or rather those areas without which we no longer imagine our lives differently. Those things that are forever in our minds and which we can hardly change, but which directly affect our lives.  

Since this painting and other my series artworks mainly depicts people, Those people are the main force that drives progress and at the same time the regress of humanity. Much depends on people whether there will be peace or war tomorrow. People are one of the main participants in my paintings since without people there was no whole industry and urban urbanism, which has long developed and exists.

Figurative Art

Seascape Painting - I often paint seascapes, beaches, sailboats, as in the summer I go to rest in resort places and paint right on the beach or on the pier. I draw paintings from nature, on plein air. Often, I paint my watercolor landscapes using the Alla Prima technique, in one step.

Landscape Painting - I like to draw in nature, as I often travel, I draw many beautiful views in the open air, these are mountains and seas and forests. When I paint outdoors in nature, I feel reunited with nature. If you look at one of these my watercolor landscapes: Tuscany Painting, Italy Landscapes, you will see that I painted them from nature in nature.

I get inspired to create my paintings when I go out for a walk in the city and it doesn’t matter in my own city or on a travel. In general it is the urban environment, its surroundings, architecture, cafes, crossroads, bustling city lifeand especially how people interact with this urban environment that inspires me.

In most cases, I show those things that in everyday life we simply do not notice or pass by. I give people the opportunity to see in my paintings a captured moment from their life.
