Statement

Most of the time I explore catharsis, state of meditation and also a kind of freaky humour through my works of art.
In some cases, the origins of my pictures are rooted in my day-dreams and night-dreams. I use them to speak about the greatness of the world. Also I portray the creatures artificially larger than real size, not just for fun but for the succesfull impression too. I choose such objects or creatures which are naturally grandiose in their size, such as monumental statues, big flowers or a piano. Thanks to the bigger measures and to the life-sized objects I can show what is their relation between reality and fantasy. I mix up the proportions too. I design the objects and portraying them in extreme situations. Finally my paintings are similar to the specific mood images.
What I love in my profession that the oil painting technic is pretty suitable to create visual details and reflect the uniqueness of the desired images. For this reason I got a mix of realastic and also imaginative expression. Beyond the technical details I am most interested in how to express the exact feelings and thoughts what is awaken in me by the world.
I realized since the beginning of my career that I aim to express most truthworthily what people already know but I add an extra confidence to this knowledge, an obvious realization or even a tiny amazement.
