Escapism, Solo exhibition

I have been interested in art my entire life. I began painting since I was young. To me it is a language, an expression, interpretation and response to the world around us.

 

My recent work explores the city-human relationship. How cities can modify our everyday life, our lifestyle and our behavior. We are all parts of our cities, we identify with it. We became part of it and we contribute to its identity. My inspirations are first and foremost everything I see, I live and experience. I capture the beauty all around us, I look out the window to seek the color, the different blues in the sky, the greens in the trees, the red, the yellow in the streets.

 

In my work I use bright and vibrant colors to revoke emotional feelings. Through my figurative paintings I try to depict the interaction between the inner and the outer world.

 

I am in constant need of exploration for colors, mediums and composition to finish a work of art. I am diverse in my selection of materials and techniques, giving myself opportunities to create something that will generate a feeling inside viewers. However, I am most attracted to acrylic and oil pastel. Every artwork is built from multiple layers of acrylics and pastels with the goal of creating an interplay of textures, reflectivity and colors. Sometimes I make collages and then paint on top of them on canvas or wood support.

 

My paintings are a depiction of my inner soul and feelings. I strongly believe in allowing my creative passion, imagination to be expressed in my work. 

 

My artwork has been exhibited lately at Salon d’Automne Paris, Metropolitan Museum of Arts Tokyo as well as various online platforms.
