I painted my first painting around 2010-11 after being invited by a friend of mine to join him in the creative process on one of the Friday nights after corporate work-week. I found myself standing over a blank canvas not knowing how to start. He said “just paint whatever comes to your mind right now”. So I did.  The whole painting process that night felt somewhat familiar to me, just as if I have done that before…

 

I continued to paint ever since. Although there were shorter and longer periods without touching the brush, I was always returning to painting. Until I guess 2020, when I started painting and drawing everyday and creating has become my main focus. Soon after this I realized my life revolves around it and painting is not only “what I do”, it is who I am.

 

Art has become my language. Through the means of a brush and colors and shapes I express what flows through me. I paint my visions and my perceptions of reality. Over the years I gained skills, my paintings have become more refined but the “drive” and reason remain unchanged - I keep telling what I see.
