"Traditional, figurative painting that I deal with is inspired by the environment closest to me, in which I live and with which I have a natural emotional bond. I do not try to create in isolation from nature, which, even for abstraction, always seems to be a starting point, although often unconscious. Realism - although I like to reduce, process and organize it in my own way - is essentially the closest formula of expression to me. From what surrounds me, I prefer to choose the most typical, familiar, repetitive motifs. As a rule, I avoid exceptional or unusual things and phenomena, I am rather interested in filtering this inconspicuous, everyday reality in such a way that only what is important for expressing harmony remains. I look for both tensions and coherence in it.
Everything I paint is a synthesis of my natural surroundings. I ask myself different questions every day and the paintings are some kind of a resultant of all these thoughts, experiences and impressions, also purely visual. One should not try to interpret them literally, because what is unnamed is the driving force behind my work.
The biggest challenge for me in painting are formal decisions, because they ultimately decide about the final impact of a painting. The theme itself is basically just a pretext for playing with the form, but the initial motif must always make a strong aesthetic impression on me".
