My Art
My abstract paintings are, before all, about colors, planes, textures, straight edged shapes, and the inclusion of found objects. At first glance, they look like random juxtaposition of small color fields units distinct of each other by their uniqueness. Careful observation, however, reveals in them unity, harmony, and balance, while they play also the role of a powerful medium of mutual communication between the work of art and the viewer. My goals, as an artist, are, foremost, to create order and harmony in a seemingly chaotic or disjointed composition and to foster feelings of hope, stability, happiness, and security. All the elements are, therefore, skillfully combined to create the envisioned effect.
