"I tried different techniques during my career, but I especially fell in
love with painting with oil and pallette-knife. Every artwork is the
result of long painting process; every canvas is born during the
creative search; every painting is full of my inner world. Each of my
paintings brings different mood, colors and emotions. I love to express
the beauty, harmony and spirit of this world in my paintings. My heart
is completely open to art. Thus, I enjoy creating inspired and
beautiful paintings from the bottom of my soul. Each of my artworks
reflects my feelings, sensitivity, passion, and the music from my soul.
True art is alive and inspired by humanity. I believe that art helps us
to be free from aggression and depression." Source
I have not long discovered this artist. I enjoy the use of vibrant colours and the sense of movement in his paintings. Personally, I find it too "messy" using a pallette-knife to apply paints and prefer the greater control over a smaller area that brushes give you, but it is interesting to see different techniques. The artist tends to paint cityscapes or landscapes, often in the rain which produces beautiful reflections and textures when translated through the use of brightly coloured oils.
