When painting, my primary goal is to achieve reality and the impression of an enigmatic feeling.
An idea and it's image in a picture might be far from reality, but the signs of my style are not.
I do believe that the aim of my art is to depict abstract thoughts in a form of realism and to search for harmony; which is fundamental to life and the main embodiment of beauty in my pictures.

I have been painting a series of pictures, cycles from the very beginning. This is the reason: an impression takes it's final, nearly complete form throughout many versions.

How enigmatic our past behind us is, and how mysterious the future is. In the quasi-reality of the present, a painter can have only one goal... to make individuality be victorious over everyday life...
