"Marcel The Cat" Fine Art Print

I am a visual artist whose path has been shaped by transformation, resilience, and continuous reinvention. For many years, I worked with hot enamel on copper — a rare, demanding technique that deeply influenced my sensitivity to color, detail, and depth. When I moved to France without the equipment needed to continue this practice, a new chapter opened, and I turned fully toward painting on canvas. Today, my work explores the dialogue between graphics and texture, abstraction and defined contours, and vivid colors and deep shadows. I am drawn to contrasts and to the search for balance between spontaneity and intention — a creative tension that often feels like walking a tightrope. Through layered surfaces, reliefs, brushstrokes, pastels, and black graphic lines, I seek to express emotion, inner states, and the subtle stories that emerge from intuition. Recurring motifs in my practice include human figures, nature, landscapes, and cats, as well as playful explorations of texture. I am inspired by the forms, rhythms, and tactile qualities of the natural world, while preserving my own visual language — a blend of depth, graphic structure, and materiality. Alongside my studio practice, I have completed numerous mural and decorative painting projects for private and public spaces in France, Montenegro, and Russia, including restaurants, hotels, private residences, and artistic interiors. Today I work in Marseille, France, and throughout the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, continuing to explore new formats, materials, and artistic directions — each series becoming a step toward a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me.
