"At work, I combined my interest in history and the present. Fascinated by the unstoppable flow of time, human, technological and thought evolution and transience.

I want people to think about the natural flow of time and transience, which, however, does not necessarily have to be perceived in negative connotations. Although the past may seem distant, it is full of ordinary people who had their feelings, sorrows and joys and tried to live on. Just like us.
My paintings should include something traditional and modern at the same time.

When painting, I was inspired by classic historical painting in combination with graffiti elements.
The technique is primarily a combination of traditional oil painting and spray painting.
My work is figurative and expressive. A combination of proven art procedures and improvisation.

I enjoy the contrast between slow-drying oil paints and spray paint, which, on the other hand, dries very quickly.
I make the figurative parts with oil paints, which I intervene with a spray. I blur and cover it in different ways.

The interesting thing about this technique is that I never know what the final piece will look like.
I'm always working on several pieces at once, so I keep coming back to them and finishing them.
It often happens that in the end I am not satisfied with the result, I erase the painting and start again with a completely new design."

“New series of paintings reflects my feelings, experiences and thought processes that I was currently working on during the creation.
In my work, I capture mainly nightlife, uncertainty, but also a certain form of hope and an effort to survive. All this in the flow of time, in which everything is fleeting and what is true now, may not be valid for another moment.

My approach to form corresponds to the content: the paintings are intuitive, improvised and often repainted.
Gesture, expressive to primitive painting with acrylic and spray is then replaced by oil painting, which, on the contrary, requires longer preparation and implementation.
Chaos will replace peace, acceleration will slow down again.

My goal is to enjoy my work. Don’t deal with one piece for too long. I want to capture some moment and before it completely fades.”

Paintings focusing to human as a creature in the universe. Observing him through a figurative painting. In these artworks I wanted to penetrate deeper into personal themes and also into the painting itself. Each of the artworks is accompanied by a free author's text.

The theme of this painting is based on the environment of dance clubs and nightlife.
I paint listeners of contemporary music - rap, electro and the alternative scene.

The figures in my paintings are people photographed directly in clubs, which I then freely vary into new situations. I move further away from the original photo and move on to a free depiction of nightlife.

The form I use the classic painting with oil and spray.

-------

While working on these paintings, I was loosely inspired by the rap and alternative culture of the present generation.
I was inspired by a way of life, thinking, but also by an image and a visual that inherently belongs to him.
Since I like this musical direction and thinking, I´ve transferred it to my work.

The themes are based on portraits of people from the subculture. From well known faces to ordinary people.

My approach to painting was the same as music or thinking characteristic of this group. I worked freely, freestayled, experimented, did not ponder and analyze unnecessarily. I just had to enjoy my work and reflect on my current state of mind.

Still young. Still ferocious. Still cool and still fresh.
Yes.
