Artist’s Statement

Visuality, simplicity and stylishness are the most significant features in my art. My paintings capture the essential.

Simplification, strong colours and contrasts are very characteristic to my production.

My art is strongly influenced by Italian design, culture and lifestyle, as well as Scandinavian design. Elements of them can surely be found in my paintings. As well as connection to international contemporary art.

Many critics and viewers have found features of Pop Art and Japanese reduction of form in my production. I consider these views a very positive reaction.

I wish that my art could bring positive and joyful experiences to you, too. Enjoy and live a happy life!
