My style and my techniques that I have developed are unique. Though it once existed it was never documented. The reason for this, when the old masters died so did their knowledge and it has taken me many years of self education to redevelop this forgotten technique. By producing my paintings I am able to visually educate my buyers and also the general art lovers.

 

My unique ability to use oil paint on linen canvas, using underpainting and manipulation of colour to the finest point, makes it possible to achieve the quality of painting I produce today.

 

My way of expression was developed after I received my diploma of fine arts (1994, Sydney, Australia). I observed the many different styles of modern art during this period and I never found myself to be satisfied with the simplicity, minimalism and unaccomplished style of modern art. It was from this period onwards where I strove to improve myself in order to create something new.

 

Through my subjective creative capability I am able to paint the truthful side of a fabricated history and to identify up comings of time.

 

I collected knowledge translated in codes and enigmas by traveling through different beliefs and rituals within my own culture. Through this, I was able to understand more of the human soul, in which I began using symbols that gives us secret spiritual meanings, which aggressive way of life and anti-traditionalism has tried to ignore. By this, I began the restoration of forgotten human feelings that has been philosophically proven to still exist within folk tradition.

 

Producing paintings with my intuition I use my canvases as a conductor for the restoration of the identity of those who feel that they have individuality within them and an elite personality. I offer a possible line of happiness and a cure for ossify materialistic minds.

 

My paintings are held in private collections in this country and overseas.
