In my series of works people on white, I explore human activities. These are works in which I show topics that affect our lives or rather those areas without which we no longer imagine our lives differently. Those things that are forever in our minds and which we can hardly change, but which directly affect our lives.
Since this painting and other my series artworks mainly depicts people, Those people are the main force that drives progress and at the same time the regress of humanity. Much depends on people whether there will be peace or war tomorrow. People are one of the main participants in my paintings since without people there was no whole industry and urban urbanism, which has long developed and exists.
I love watercolor painting for its transparency, expression. Watercolor is a magical material, as magic happens right when you draw it, it gives a lot of interesting effects that the artist does not expect and he would not have come up with them.
Basically, I paint with watercolors on cotton paper and on canvas on a stretcher, but among other things I like to experiment with acrylic paints, combine textural pastes, and other interesting materials.
The vocation of the artworks is to show the world what he really is and to evoke powerful emotions from art, because it is nice when a person finds and recognizes himself in a painting, sees in it moments from his own life.

I get inspired to create my paintings when I go out for a walk in the city and it doesn’t matter in my own city or on a travel. In general it is the urban environment, its surroundings, architecture, cafes, crossroads, bustling city lifeand especially how people interact with this urban environment that inspires me.
In most cases, I show those things that in everyday life we simply do not notice or pass by. I give people the opportunity to see in my paintings a captured moment from their life.
Cityscape Painting - Since I love to paint Cityscapes. Of course, I take most of the beautiful places from my travels, because they open my eyes to the beauty of the world, new places, color of the city, architecture, old buildings and much more.
Basically I like to paint European architecture, cities such as: Paris, Holland, Italy, Spain, I like to paint the architecture of New York, California and other states.

Seascape Painting - I often paint seascapes, beaches, sailboats, as in the summer I go to rest in resort places and paint right on the beach or on the pier. I draw paintings from nature, on plein air. Often, I paint my watercolor landscapes using the Alla Prima technique, in one step.

Substrate / Paper Stretched Canvas / Cotton Paper
Paper Stretched CanvasSince I mostly paint with watercolors, I try to choose good watercolor paper. Most often it is 100% cotton and a paper weight of 300 grams per m2. Favorite paper manufacturers are: Fabriano, Canson, Arches, Buckinford.
It is also important for me that the paper is fixed with masking tape or is best stretched over a stretcher. To stretch watercolor paper on a stretcher, you need to completely wet the paper, wait until it dries, approximately 4-5 minutes, immediately after this period of time, carefully stretch it onto the stretcher. I fix the paper with a construction stapler or lead buttons, but a stapler is better. After, I let the canvas dry for about an hour or two. And you can get to work.
The surface of a paper canvas such as a drum can be identified by sound, tap lightly on the paper,and it will have a ringing sound.

How i handle the use of colour in my artworks
Shade combinations come to mind as I write, as I work. In watercolor works I use different colors, I like to experiment with mixing colors during painting, it happens that I think over the color palette in advance, but still I often improvise color relationships already in the work itself.
In advance, I can think over whether the painting will be color or black and white. When I write in B&W, it is important for me to observe the proportionality of shades: white, gray and black.
Of course, I also have favorite shades and colors. There are a lot of them and it is difficult to divide them into any specific ones, but in watercolor I like to use ceruleum blue, emerald green, payne gray and light cadmium red.
