　　is my daylong obsession, joy, and torment” - this quote from Claude

　　Monet deeply resonates with me, aligning with my artistic vision and

　　attitude. I strive to capture and convey the splendor of the world

　　around me through the vibrancy of colors, the elegance of forms and

　　lines, and the natural geometry of objects. The

　　art I create draws inspiration mostly from my personal experiences and

　　observations. I find admiration in the ever-changing seasons and the

　　play of light during day and night, as well as in the intricate details

　　of living organisms, and the transformative impact of human intervention

　　on landscapes. My artwork often features water surfaces, plants and

　　gardens, and also buildings, urban utilities, and city lights. These

　　subjects become artistic spaces where I explore the interplay of colors

　　and spatial relationships, unveiling their rhythmic structures and

　　interactions. I

　　work in series, delving into each topic across multiple canvases over

　　time. I use a variety of techniques and media, including acrylic and oil

　　painting, drawing, and collage. My art balances between hyperrealism and

　　pop art infused

　　with a hint of cartoon painting style, often maintaining

　　photo-realistic attention to details. My goal is to create art that is

　　both visually striking and emotionally engaging, to capture the essence

　　of a moment and to invite the viewer to share my experience. I

　　have been greatly influenced by a diverse range of artists, spanning

　　from Byzantine icon painters and Baroque masters to Impressionists and

　　contemporary Pop artists. Moreover, my work bears the imprint of my

　　fascination with the quiet beauty of Johannes Vermeer’s art,

　　individualistic and alienated realism of Edward Hopper and Robert

　　Bechtle, and vigorous coloristic enthusiasm of David Hockney and Wayne

　　Tiebaud, which infuse additional dimensions into my artistic pursuit. My

　　art is a reflection of my passion for life and my desire to share that

　　passion with others. Through my work I hope to inspire and uplift, to

　　capture the magnificence of everyday reality, and to raise questions that are relevant for me and for our time.​I live and work in Sausalito, California, USA.​------------------------------------------------ Current Solo Shows:​– Spaces.
