RECOGNITION

Portrayal of a person and portrait painting to me is not only a way to access the world that surrounds me, but also a retrospect of the evolution of my own existence and its meaning. Portrait painting is a genre that allows exploring the individual being, searching for answers and abandoning oneself to gains and losses. As my artistic field of view widens, I dare to abandon the road of personal existential contemplation and take the side path by exploring the surroundings, the people, evaluating the problems of my own compatibility with the society. While on this path, I begin the search for characters, figures and artists that took part in shaping my own personality.
