about my art

Art and painting have played a very important role in my life since I was a child. Unfortunately, communism destroyed my dream of studying art, but not my lifelong passion for painting.

I prefer to work with pigments, charcoal, pastels and ink.

Nature is my biggest source of inspiration - I try to find a balance between landscape and abstract painting. My pictures are not constructed, but are created by feeling and coincidence.

Destruction of the environment and exploitation of nature are two focal points that concern me in my artistic work.

My works have no titles. This gives the viewer the necessary freedom to interpret the images.

It is more than important to me that my pictures touch the viewer - after all, every picture is a small part of me that I share with the outside world.
