The year of my birth is 1961.
I really like two things in life: building wooden boats and drawing. We are surrounded by beauty, if you look closely, it is in everything ! Everything created by the creator is created with love and simply cannot be ugly.
When I draw, with every stroke, with every line, I let it pass through me. The finished sheet already carries a part
of me. I have no special art education. But that doesn’t stop me, the desire to draw is stronger !
I think you don’t become an Artist. You’re born one. It’s akin to music. You can learn to play the guitar or go to an art school where you’ll be taught how to draw correctly, but it will make you neither a composer nor an artist.
It’s a given. You either have it or you don’t. We all come to this wonderful world the same way. Why does one pick up a paintbrush, while the other just admires the world? I think there is no answer. It’s not in our power to explain.

Completeness of the image. Deep in my heart, I’m probably a perfectionist. Any endeavor I dedicate myself to,
even the most insignificant one, encourages me to focus. To think it over, go through everything in my head and
find the right steps. I guess this became the determining factor in the technique of my drawings.
I have no “blind spots” where the viewer needs to think out the idea on their own. I don’t push them onto the path of contemplation. I present them with the fact – see the beauty the way that I understand it. As it is. Nice or not, clean or dirty – for me it is finite. The choice is up to the viewer – to accept it or not to accept.
I will be happy if my works touch your souls.
