This 50 x 70 cm piece pays tribute to the golden Triton statue at the Peterhof Palace's Triton Fountain near Saint Petersburg, showcasing the might of Heracles.
The foreground features a young woman elegantly dressed in white, holding a large pink Japanese umbrella, the Wagasa, which takes center stage, while the fountain's powerful water stream creates a stem of fine droplets and mist, as the woman is using the umbrella to protect herself from getting wet.
As I crafted the composition, I sought to highlight the contrast between Triton's confident demeanor and the woman's introspective pose, adding layers of meaning to the central theme that consumed my thoughts and shaped the work's development. In my labors over the portion of the painting where the light filters through the pink umbrella, I was tested in my artistic skills. The filtered red light lent the woman a delicate blush, enhancing her shy and introspective posture, while simultaneously offering a striking contrast to Triton's exuberant and powerful presence.
I love the way the chromatic harmony of yellow, orange, and red craft a harmonious scheme for the entire composition. With a transparent glaze of rosy red, I was able to capture the rough yet transparent quality of the umbrella, and with a crisp, rough texture, I depicted the drizzling water in a manner similar to the umbrella, yet imbued with movement.
The gleaming surface of the Triton statue and the ethereal nature of the scene ignited my imagination, causing me to ponder whether this embodies enlightenment and determination - either a deity rescuing the woman or an ordinary occurrence with the woman as a visitor.
In my creative journey, I engage in a methodical and discerning approach, as well as envisioning the scene from various angles, ultimately resulting in a tribute to the magnificence and marvel of our world.
By toiling diligently and contemplating with care, we can alter the appearance of objects in the realm of space and forge marvels that reflect our place in the world.

As an artist, I believe that art is a doorway to other dimensions – mysterious, limitless, and spiritual – inspiring beauty and amazement. My goal is to create artwork that allows people to experience things that would otherwise be impossible for them.
Using light as a symbol for divinity, blessing, and knowledge, I aim to transform negative belief systems into positive ones through my paintings. This divine light transcends time and space and signifies our potential for divinity – the ability to achieve what seems unattainable.
Art is also powerful because it allows us to comprehend metaphysical ideas, offering us a physical illustration that we can emotionally understand. Through my art, I hope to reveal the spiritual potential within ourselves and create a beautiful and harmonious world.
Drawing inspiration from mythology, myths, and legends, I tell epic stories through my paintings as if they are part of a grand myth. In these stories, people become heroic figures and the only reality is the divine will each of us possess – our thoughts determine the outcome of the plot.
I hold oil painting in the highest regard, as it is the most venerable, superior, and esteemed form of painting. To me, there is no better way to communicate visual ideas with their beauty, form, light, and magnificence than through oil painting. Using classical oil painting techniques, I am able to emulate and recreate reality and fancy with unparalleled realism. It is the most fitting way to manifest my ideas, and I am always eager to explore the possibilities of oil painting.
My painting aims and principles are to express archetypal forms and themes, independent of the spirit of the age, to bring the eternal and the timeless to life; to depict beauty and harmony in a sensual way; to create elegance with graceful and stylized forms; to capture pathos and emotions; and to gain the highest level of pictorial knowledge and craft through continuous learning and self-education.
A little about me: I was born in 1975 in Stockholm and began my fine arts studies in Sweden at the Konstskolan i Stockholm. In 1999, I moved to Budapest to study oil painting and restoration at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts until 2004. Since then, I have been working as a freelance painter and illustrator, completing assignments for clients all over the world. My work includes portraits, still lifes, landscapes, and more, and I also teach drawing and painting in my studio in Budapest. I am a true master of my craft, using oil paints and pastels to create realistic and dream-like works of art that capture the beauty of the world around us.
