,, I feel comfortable creating a new world in my art, through which I communicate with the customer.
I've always been fascinated by human portrait, in particular portraits of women. I'm interested in face and figure: they reveal emotions, feelings, experiences and personality.
In my works I'm looking for the particular mood also for interesting light - full of contrast that builds atmosphere. My inspirations are masters of classical paintings:
Rembrandt and Carravagio, work of Toulouse - lautrec and Tamara Lępicka. When it comes to contemporary artists, I very much appreciate Fabian Perez - as an artist and persin. Meeting him in person had a huge impact on me''
