How the paintings are born

There comes a time in life when words are not enough to express the astonishment one has before the Ultimate Beauty that has been created by God. A time when a person needs to exceed the borders of words, a time when paintings can do more justice to this immense, wonderful feeling.

ART is a spiritual reflection of our reality. This reflection can be conveyed not only via lofty words, but by means of colours as well. It is not essential that it should be an abstract art form; it can be a portrait, a landscape or still-life. It is most essential that in his/her work the state of the artists soul be represented.
 
 
Magic touch of inspiration. Unique curves, smooth ends…
these ''strokes'' - each one taking you to another ''world'',
one world interconnected with another...
leading to an inner satisfaction.
