Artist's Statement

"To be or not to be" - Art ansvers this question for me. I met my wife Emilia in Fine Art Academy and our love became love for art. For many years we have been experiencing up's and down's of life - only art was giving us the constant high. The process between mind and the splash of paint is the place where new happens. Travelling through the space and dimentions, lines, color, shapes and textures gives me the true experience of love - the act of painting.
