I paint to make connections with exterior world. Every painting is story itself, mainly inspired in some events or human relations. Mostly I use acrylic paint and prefer good quality paper rather than canvas. Some paintings took a quite long time to be finished. I’m trying to make harmony where the one doesn’t exist and find optimist solutions even in very pessimist circumstances. With combinations of colors I’m trying to create new dimension and interpret the world with very few recognizable elements.
