Within our inner world, a multitude of experiences lie hidden, often remaining merely a series of "movie scenes" in our minds. I long to share these "images" with like-minded people who experience similar feelings and find complete accord.

We often experience contradictory emotions: pain and joy, suffering and love, sometimes all at once. We have certain expectations in our consciousness, but life usually unfolds differently, and we find ourselves forced to confront unexpected obstacles.

It happens so suddenly and unexpectedly, just like these spots on my portraits. We are usually unprepared for this, unsure how to deal with it. Then comes the question of assessment, because the feelings are a consequence of the viewer, their interpretation.

We may be internally ready to resist reality, to blame everyone and everything. Or, we may find the strength to see the best and most beautiful in it, to find pleasure in overcoming complexity, and to accept this imperfection of our surroundings in order to feel our own connection with the world.

In my painting, I try to combine classical techniques with modern ones. I am constantly searching for those forms and facets that allow me to harmonize a visual image and an emotional impression.
