I started making art with hyperrealistic drawings about in 1992 fall. It was coming quite good as beginner, but I needed more. Hyperrealistic wasn't my thing.
My art is typically representative or pure abstract and or surreal..., which is not depending on time or place. I don't normally paint or draw human made things.
My styles varies but it is often strong and expressive with high feelings and emotions and is some how spiritual (not religional). I don't want to limit myself, so there are no exact borders in my art. I might be near madness in working period, becaus3... Automatism is typical for me.
Specially when you give your personal best, there is the loudest silence.
Never knows what is happening, or is it going to happen anything.
Life is a process of learning and art is a great adventure to unknown future.
Ask anything what you want, and I'll answer what I may tell is my truth. It might be my truth is not the same as yours.

Got bleeding brains december 2018. Have no ability at the moment or maybe never again. I shall try despite it is no good at moment. I a m recovering well, but never know am I getting it good enough anymore. It might take years, what I maybe don t have.

JUNE 26th 2020, art has continued, and continues towards future so long times there are days for me.

Sorry. Banks crupt came, but art continues so much I can afford.

2021, January, 18th. Very good quantity on 2020. On pension now a year already, but art goes on and it is only thing I may get better than ever in my history. I am slow for many things but I am ready quite good in art and I put some photos later. In my mind had memory problems two years ago.  I could not remember the yesterday then. It is everything better now and I am coming back. You don't to need know what to do, you need to understand what you are doing."
