Product description
Portrait of a woman in oil on canvas. Framed in a black barge frame.
'I became fascinated with drawing and painting at a young age and I sculpted figures from clay. After the academy for advertising design and drawing academy, I worked as an advertising and decorative painter for twelve years and in 1988 I started to focus on my own work and started my life as a professional independent artist.
I specialized in several disciplines and in various techniques, so that I master a variety of styles. I work in both two- and three-dimensional design.
My sculptures, modeled in wax or clay and then cast in bronze or plastic, are mostly stylized figures and portraits. In addition to the shape, I pay a lot of attention to the patina of my sculptures. Experimenting with acids and materials leads to surprising results.
As far as my paintings are concerned, my versatility of styles mainly stems from the technique of painting.
For example, what happens with paint that you apply thick or liquid and whether you paint with hard brushes or soft brushes. How striking can be a key placed in the right place with apparent ease or how smooth a line can be.”
