Graduated from the College of Art and Music with further education to a medical degree I have always been mesmerized by oil paintings and drawings. Whilst studying to play the violin at the College of Art and Music I began to attend art classes where I was introduced to classic European paintings and sculptures for the first time. Inspired by the extraordinary variations in style and subjects I started to paint with oil. I have to say that the classic art still remains the main source of my inspiration.
Being encouraged by my parents I spent plenty of time at art galleries admiring the work of well known artists and sculptors. The paintings and drawings of the Renaissance and Baroque have become my favorite. The pastoral and mythological compositions still continue to be the main subjects of my admiration.
I exhibited my artwork in a number of venues and I was rewarded a prize by The Young Talents Association. Most of my paintings I presented to a Children's Hospital Charity, aiding in the well being of children, thus using my artistic skill as well.
My mother, being a self-taught artist herself, not only helped me to express myself but most importantly gave me inspiration. Impressed with her amazing landscapes and portraits and the way she combined styles and created her own I started to experiment in creating my own style of painting.
My art work is a precise reflection of my inner world. I like to discover ways to create illusions of reality with color and light, giving attention to detail. On the whole, I am influenced by the beauty of the sky and reflections on water - these are the preferred subjects of my compositions.
Being inspired by great changes in my life I am launching a new collection of art work. Fine art has once again entered my life but this time with new inspiration.
