The weightlessness and transience of feathers make them something between the material world and the one that, although invisible to the eye, still exists. This motif repeats in my painting in the form of wings, an abstract background and constantly returns anew.
#402 "Feather", original oil painting
The technique I use is oil painting. I apply the paint in thin layers. Where I need to return to lighter tones, I remove the previously applied layer of paint. There is no white paint on my palette. White and light result exclusively from the white background. I think that in this way the painting gains exceptional light and purity of colors. The second color that I never use is black. The reason is similar to the above. I look for pure shades in which the colors interpenetrate, from which I create the deepest tones.
I like to find in the textures of the background and the painted object something from a world that has already passed away, and yet exists in the structure of my painting.
I am interested in creating a painting that has something timeless in it. That is probably why I reach for the good old traditions of the painting craft.
I think that taking care to continue this knowledge and skills enriched with a modern perspective on art gives my works uniqueness. This feature is reinforced by finding a very personal point of view of reality. Observing it and transferring it to the language of painting.
