“I have always strived and will continue to strive to express on canvas that elusive amoment called emotion. The ratio of colours, the little nuances that the viewer won’t even see, but will probably feel - is a complex process that fascinates me. The female images in the paintings are the material that attracts people and that I feel the most. That’s what I’m doing!”
