Artist Statement

I mainly deal with acrylic painting on canvas. My paintings can be described as abstract. They are both unrestrained expressive abstraction and nostalgic and emotional organic abstraction. Geometric elements, colorful spots and shapes also emerge in many works. The paintings have incredible power and energy. Large-format works have an extraordinary effect on the viewer. The work dominates the viewer's field of vision, which allows them to lose themselves in the art. My paintings are a safe haven that allows for contemplation and feeling strongly hidden emotions. Emotions are also a guide for me in my creative process. I am guided by intuition
and feelings, which, like paint, I pour directly onto the canvas. Apart from emotions, my inspiration is also the world of nature, and recently, elements taken from views filtered through my painting language have appeared in my work. Waterfalls, caves or bays. My motivation is primarily the love of painting and creating. Waiting for the finished work and the excitement associated with the creative process - they drive me. Working on a painting is a great emotional journey. For me, art is primarily a carrier of emotions, but also an element of everyday life. I cannot imagine the world without creation and without art. I painted my first painting when I was looking for an outlet for difficult emotions. While painting, I can surrender to my emotions and feelings, give vent to them and transfer them directly to the canvas. I want my art to accompany people at different stages of their lives - in the better, joyful, but also more difficult moments. Often, viewers, staring at my paintings, try to guess the heart of the mystery hidden in the message. Without a doubt, in my paintings I hide a certain mystery, an escape from everyday life, real life, I intrigue, I reach for bold colors, I evoke strong emotions and provoke. I deliberately and consciously keep viewers with my paintings, forcing them to reflect
and discuss.
