ARTIST STATEMENT:

"My paintings are inspired by simple and beauty of nature with beautiful forest colors, the valley

with different flowers, the air that you can feel it when it is touching you and murmuring

melodies in your ears like a fresh rainy day.  You can see also clouds dancing in the sky as well

as listening to the winds musical rhythms. You can find shapes, colors and moment of wether and drama. 

My goal is to attempt to express something more than landscape or seascape.  I want

to express freedom, peace, serenity and memories of those simple and traditional things.
