I find the living space extremely important, which is why I began painting it. The space in which you find yourself often determines your mood. Spending the major part of my days in my flat, I realised that this is what determines the amount of light I receive, how warm I am, essentially how I feel. And this is what I explore through paintings – through materials, colours, light ... While seeking the ideal space for me, I am seeking the ideal space for the contemporary man.
It is with the choice of colours that I seek to find tranquillity, However, certain people are bothered by the subject matter, contemporary architecture being quite a delicate topic. Others tell me that it was the colours that touched them and they find it surprising how quiet they seem despite the monumentality of buildings.
I have been following the feeling of safety, peace and the idea of being sheltered. All shades are linked through the same brightness, no contrasts and shades. I use colours to create specific atmospheres, which I use to channel the viewer's feelings and achieve a certain impression through the entire presentation. The exhibited paintings make you feel overexposure and softness, while, being so minimal they remain open for your own reflections.
