I began painting as a child and becoming a successful artist is the realisation of a life-long passion.

My creations are extremely varied: from 2-dimensional figurative paintings, modern figurative, through surreal, fantastic, semi-abstract, abstract, 3-dimensional collages, installations and murals, to video-art.
I always combine my works into cycles, such as Peter Pan Series, Metropolis Series, Eye Series, Devon Series or Brain Series.
In my work it doesn’t matter how abstract, surreal or figurative, I always retain a balance between content and form, intellect and emotion. All the time I am also telling stories, first of all from my own experiences and my own imagination, but also the experiences of those near and dear, friends, neighbours and sometimes even enemies. Art for me is another way of communicating with the world and with other people.
It is a fact that I think that our existence in a philosophical/cosmic sense is senseless. Compared to the history and the dimension of the universe we humans are nothing. Because of that we shouldn’t take ourselves so damn seriously. If we could do this our lives would be 100% more tolerable.
Most of my paintings have been sold to private collectors and to order, approximately 141 works in total to 75 collectors, two art galleries and a Museum of Fine Art in USA.
