I love experimenting with different styles. Most of all I like "Symbolism". In my paintings, I like to depict symbols of religion (Christianity), time (hours, numbers, hands), the past (masks, costumes, cities), light (lighthouses, reflection). These symbols in landscapes, which at first glance seem common, indicate a deeper meaning. For example, in a fishing boat sailing on the sea. I see an apostle and a parable from the Bible. A seine for human souls, the name of the ship is "Apostle". In simple dandelions, I see an icon. Intricate interweaving of plants, reminiscent of a plot from the Bible. About the resurrection of St. Luke. A sad Venetian mask looks at the water and a tear appears in it. A symbol of the past carnival and a celebration of life. And we feel a little sorry for the past. The Harlequin wants to tell us a story, but which one? We see tears on his mask. Most likely, this is the fairy tale "Wanderings". Torero tames the bull, but which one is the victim? The bull or the bullfighter himself? Driven by the crowd, he himself is like an animal, and at this moment there is no one who would be closer than a bull. I can write in different techniques. My favorites are acrylic painting and airbrushing with the addition of silver or gold. I am constantly looking for and experimenting with my work.
