Miro Tomarkin

I am an artist/painter/poet/sculptor currently residing in East-London
I am an artist with a mission: to express myself via the arts. View my work and you'll get a quite accurate 'picture' of me.
My favourite paintings are the Surreal Landscapes/Mindscapes and Figurative works
Having said so - I do not really like the generalisations which applying 'genres' seem to trigger. Art to me is personal and therefore I am a 'living and breathing' individual, who wants to develop and learn - make mistakes and do things right - seek refuge in the hope and the presence of the one who created us - the muse and everything else - hence the beauty and the ugly - our ability to choose between the two 'poles' - Light and Darkness - good and evil - happiness and sadness - Obedience and Rebellion and all that what is in between - the tones and shades the entire space which is filling up the middle 'bit' hence the colour between Black and White - the music between silence and noise

I was educated in Austria, Switzerland, Germany and Great Britain. So a truly international Personality. :)
