"TO ME, DRAWING AND PAINTING ARE THE MOST EXCITING THINGS IN THE WORLD. I LOVE THE FEELING OF BRINGING SOMETHING INTO EXISTENCE FROM NOTHING — ON PAPER OR CANVAS."
In the Studio
I always choose a subject that catches my attention for some reason. It can be anything—the look, the atmosphere, or simply the way it stirs a thought or feeling in me.
When I paint, I don’t draw beforehand; I begin with paint and gradually build the image. Often, I don’t paint only what I see—I add elements that weren’t there, guided by a feeling that they belong. I follow my intuition and my heart.
I become completely absorbed in the process, and time and space seem to fade away.
Painting takes me into a different universe, where everything is possible, and the only limit is my imagination.
Creating an artwork is more than skill; it’s about expressing yourself—your emotions and your thoughts.
As my favourite painter, Vincent van Gogh, wrote:
“Almost no one knows that the beautiful work is to a large extent good faith and sincere feeling.”
Let’s create!
I love to paint little birds. They are so tiny, yet so strong, and they bring us so much joy with their presence and voices.
I used mainly brown paint with some cadmium yellow and some white – alla Prima.
