I take inspiration from everyday life, and I believe that if viewed at the right angle and with the right light, even the dullest subject can become exciting and extraordinary.

As I travel extensively and my surroundings constantly change, often my work is influenced in diverse ways. Each of the trips provides me with a wide range of subject matter.

Colours are vital to my work and I am addicted to patterns. What fascinates me the most though, is the light. The light has the ability to transform a figure, an object or an ordinary scene into something unique and magical. It is often this fascination that I am trying to convey in my paintings, as well as in my photography.

I work primarily with acrylics, as it is more practical for me, while travelling.

My reference is a blend of photographs (that I have taken) and memories (of how and what I felt while taking this particular photograph). I do not do any preliminary drawings or sketches – I just follow my emotional instincts.

I admire greatly the works of the Impressionists; of Van Gogh- for his broad brushstrokes and inventive perspectives, and of the “Les Fauves” group of artists, whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong colour.
