Artist Statement
Light is an infinite universe that nobody will ever fully discover. I am fascinated by nature’s light, colour and patterns that create abstractions. I am interested with catching transitory light effects of nature. American Tonalism, Barbizon School and Impressionism are my influences. I have been using photography as medium since 1990. Then in 2007 I adopted oil as a way to bring a more personal rendition to my work. I am using an impressionist technique, consisting of broken, rhythmic strokes of pure colour to represent atmosphere, light and visual effects.
Biography
My adventure with visual arts started seriously in 1990 with photography, after graduating from my Master’s Degree. In 1996 I joined Masterfile photo stock agency and became a successful commercial artist, selling my work in over thirty countries. Using 3D software and photography, during 11 years I produced conceptual imagery targeting the advertising market. In 2007 I decided to move from commercial art to fine art and adopted oil as my new medium. Every year I make several trips to Canada and Europe to find new ideas for my landscape painting.
