SLO VERSION HERE What is your education in the field of art? Have you always wanted to become a painter? I have been creating since I was a child, I painted and wrote a lot of songs, but I never saw it as a profession. As a kid, I wanted to be a vet or a TV presenter. Somewhere towards the end of primary school, I started attending an art course and then set out on this path. I first … [Read more...]

Energy paintings myths
Recently I attended an alternative medicine fair where I presented my paintings. I spoke to a lot of people who felt drawn to my art and discovered quite a few myths that I believe are more a consequence of marketing tools than reality. Energy paintings are only mandalas Each painting, each thing, eash stone, everything that exists is a shape of energy. There are no energy and non-energy … [Read more...]
How I pick my colour palettes?
A lot of people are amazed by my painting colour schemes and often ask me how to pick the right combination and combine certain shades of colours. I put some thought to it and honestly it's hard to define a recipe "how to do it" because it comes really naturally to me and I choose colours more intuitively than anything else. But if I try to explain my way of thinking, it would be this way. … [Read more...]
Step back, observe
Yesterday my friend and I were petsitting a dog. It was funny to watch it sad and totally devastated as the owner left the house. Was similar to the kids when they are taken to the kindergarten and think that their mom will never come back and they'll have to stay in that environment forever. It's funny how just one thought can put you into such an emotional state, almost feeling like you're … [Read more...]
Showing up vs loving yourself
No matter what you do in your life, is it art, laundry or the paperwork. Sometimes you don't really feel to show up, to do the thing or even to get out of the bed for a whole day. I don't really believe into pushing yourself, forcing yourself to do it. If you do something with resistance, there is no flow and it's more likely it will take you a bunch of additional time to finish it, it won't be … [Read more...]
Between the lines part 2
This piece is technically a 1 square meter sized mixture of texture, rope, and paint, but under that is a story about lines, limitations, layers we peel of each day when we try to get to know more of us. The white-lined parts are the ones still left to uncover all the things we don't already live are hidden below. Not sure if even a lifetime is enough to reveal it completely since each person is a … [Read more...]
How you act on canvas, you act in life
Canvas can be a great way to observe yourself. The way you approach the canvas, the way you think and make decisions while painting, use of colors, materials, challenges we have and all the other aspects of a painting process itself is a reflection of you and how you act in life. Figuring out the parallels can be an effective way for self-exploration. And always remember, whatever you discover, … [Read more...]
Are we really free in our expression?
When I put a blank canvas in front of two people, I get different reactions. One will say: wow, I can paint whatever I want! The other will say: oh boy, what should I paint now?! The first response is typical for children, especially those who are still not a part of the school system. Those are free, they do as they feel, don't bother with the right or wrong way, are not worried about the … [Read more...]
Between the lines
New painting with highly textured parts and line segments is a fresh colorful start of something new this autumn. The specialty of the new process is a use of a usual material in an unusual way. I am talking about a rope, made from natural fibers, that is a leading part of the painting. It defines the composition and all the other parts are subordinated to it. As the rope is a line segment I used … [Read more...]
