ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Painting is like meditation. It’s a slow process of putting one brush stroke after another, immersing yourself into the wonderful world of watercolor. I find it very relaxing when I slowly build my paintings with layers, working section by section and trying to find ways to depict my subject in a realistic style. Vibrant colors and transparent properties of watercolor paints allow me to capture the essence of my subjects in a unique way. Working with this medium is challenging, but also very exciting and rewarding.

Inspiration is everywhere. A small bird on a thorn twig, a ray of light illuminating the petals from the back, repeated patterns of batik fabrics or just a beautiful shape of a leaf with a dew drop that will fall off in a moment. Little bits of reality that we pass by indifferently can have great power – they remind us that we are just pollen in this universe. I’d like to stop for a moment, capture those bits and contemplate them for a little longer.
