The inspiration for the paintings came from my childhood. Growing up in an industrial town, I constantly searched for beauty in my surroundings. I found it in people. In women and men and in the gracious movement of their bodies.

     My passion is the “human body” with its anonymous beauty and the erotic magic it possesses. Because of its ever surprising nature it remains my strong fascination to this day.

    “Festivity of Texture” is my comprehensive display of a series of figurative paintings.

          Using acrylics, pastels, different collage methods and unique texture I have created a collection primarily depicting women as well as a range of other portraits.

        By experimenting with different forms of artistic expression I have attempted to illustrate the essence of the person portrayed.

          Found in Connection” is a playful experiment with different materials. In this collection I start with raw canvases then combine and stretch them, finally addressing them with a brush.

      Through creating an orderly illusion of imperfection I intended to initiate a dialog with a viewer and include the viewer in the experience of art by showing that the act of painting as well as a painted figure has “many faces

        The “Broken Pieces” collection contains paintings inspired by the work of a number of the most famous artists.

        Each painting is an individual study of subject, colours and technique. “Broken Pieces” is an invitation to the journey through different styles and periods they represent.

         My objective is to extract the essence from every masterpiece that inspires me and transfer that to the canvas. I aim to portray this special ambience and emotions in my paintings.

        The “Broken Pieces” collection is undoubtedly the great challenge and the demanding critic.

Aqua-phor tells the story of my adventure I started below the sea. It is a personal interpretation of underwater world which I decided to translate onto the canvas.

Trying not limiting myself to the bounds of reality my paintings lead from the real world to the imaginary. Luminosity and depth are the most immediately striking features of this collection, achieved by building up layers of thick paint.

Aqua-phor emphasise my interest in texture, structure and the subject of underwater world. The essence of my work lies in unusual density and the richness of colours.

Summer 2010, I was delighted to work with the Elephant Family, the only charity solely dedicated to ensuring the survival of the Asian elephant, to launch London's biggest ever public art event. For two glorious months the exhibition mopped up over 500 press articles, 10 hours of TV and radio air time and reached an audience of 25 million people. An astonishing £4.1m was raised at the auction.

Supported by numerous conservationists and celebrities, the parade featured 250 life-size elephants hand-painted by an assortment of established and emerging talent from the art and design world and I was delighted to support this charity by painting an exclusive elephant.

This is what inspired me to create "Freedom":

Elephants, just like humans, need strong leaders and symbols to represent them in their fight from extinction.

During this project I concentrated not only on its decorative value but also on the ideological aspects. It became a metaphor of sorts.

I wanted to underline the importance of the cause of the elephants by drawing comparisons with some of the most recognisable freedom fighters and their noble causes. Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Lech Walesa were some of the world's greatest leaders. I chose to show their faces in the street art graffiti style because it is often in the streets that the grandest ideas are born.

Many times unnoticed and undervalued at first, waiting to be realised. Without an active human intervention, elephants could face extinction and we should not let that happen.

My elephant 'Freedom' is one small step toward achieving this goal.
