(Art gallery, Spain)Hi friends!
I’m so excited to share some great news — I recently won the highly competitive BOYNES MONTHLY ART AWARD 🎉 The theme was «LANDSCAPE», which fits perfectly with my artistic focus.
Huge thanks to the jury for choosing my work — it truly means a lot! 🙏
The winning painting is especially close to my heart — it’s called «CHILDREN OF GOD». 70 x 100 x 2 cm ( 27.5 x 39.3 x 0.7inches ), acrylic on canvas.
You can check it out (and even purchase it!) on the Artmajeur platform ➡️ HERE
🖼️ The painting that won the competition is very special to me. It’s the result of my reflections on the greatness of the natural world around us — and how gently it holds and protects us. I created it with the intention of bringing joy and a sense of happiness to those who look at it. It shows a man and a woman running toward each other in a moment of pure love, while all of nature around them seems to echo and celebrate that feeling.
Here’s a look at the winner’s certificate 🏆
And if you’re curious to learn more, there’s a full interview with me now live on the Boynes Artist Award website — feel free to read it ➡️ HERE!

🥰 Finally I have completed my «Tropical Butterflies» collection.
🦋Butterflies can be admired endlessly. In my paintings, I represent butterflies as the embodiment of energies that transform into feelings and emotions and touch our hearts deeply.
🎨 I use a unique oil painting technique to create a beautifully vibrant background which I then paint over with watercolors. I give the butterfly's wings volume and texture with thick acrylic layers.
✨ 24 artworks. Each artwork is 25 x 25 cm, 9.8 x 9.8 inches. Watercolors, oil, acrylic on paper.
🧐 I have noticed that prestigious art competitions are mostly won either by carefully drawn paintings or paintings with a deep meaning that I do not understand.
👍 I decided to submit a carefully composed landscape in the impressionist style. Unexpectedly (Hooray!) the artwork won one of the awards. 💖 Thanks to the jury!
