About my artwork: My paintings relies part on photographs ( in general from
family album ) big part of it is painted according to how I think its need to be seem.

About my make-up work:
i started to paint with the make-up because i have no more store place for my canvases paintings.
i was starting painting on papers with oil, acrylic and other medium, but i did not like the results on the paper.
then one day when i browses my photo albom, it reminded me the time i was working as an make-up artist for the TV and movies industry.
1+1 and i thought of my old make-up i never used...i made an experiment, and loved it!
beside that, i was thinking on the connection between me painting from private album...photos who are just temporary here. [after we are dead, who needs them? ] and the make-up as a medium to paint is temporary as well.
I hope you enjoy my experiment.

Artists I like: Ulrich lamsfub, John Currin, loretta lux .and so many more...

The centre of the artworld is: New York, London, Berlin, my studio, online, nowhere and everywhere
