Statement:

My art work is composed from nature, however it is not showing the subject as its really looks.
It is to demonstrate how color patches could be turned into a different direction in order to create a richly color pattern of organic and geometric forms.

My art work is not to reproduce what the eye sees, it is to capture my own deepest feeling about a subject and to express it with twisted lines and forms.

A limited range of tones, intense colors and texture. Feeling and emotion should be emphasized.
I am a water colorist.
