- About my artwork
- In my art I aim to offer a clear vision that mirrors universal aspects of life. My imagery portrays an inner world in continuous movement. I always strive towards achieving a balance between the subjective and the objective. If abstract paintings are born out of figurative ones then in my work I like to make these two aspects of human duality approach one another in a mutual balance and unity. It is a revelation and discovery that I wish to portray to the world. I believe this is my own ‘evolution’ in a sense – towards the universal; the subjective towards the objective, towards the essence of ourselves. My art is a product of inward thoughts and ideas, but also I cherish the idea of ‘cultivated externality’. Perhaps this is the reason why I aim for my paintings to unfold universal beauty, but without completely renouncing the human element.
- Artists I like
- Titian, Munch, Kandinsky
- Centre of the artworld:
