I Cannot Take You with Me_detaliu_edited.jpg

Fine Art

My paintings and drawings are frozen moments, fragments of larger stories... 

The subjects I approach are diverse and so are my techniques. I give myself permission to explore concepts, colours and harmonies, while being rooted in my pursuit of beauty and good. Being a relatively new fine artist and a self-taught one as well, I am more focused on creating freely and learning from my trials, serving the subjects I want to paint and what they communicate to the viewer, rather than pinning myself down too early under the pressure of originality for its own sake...
