My ideas are born from simple events and observations, such as the bright blue of the sky on a clear summer day. This art is fed from musical and ethereal forces that weave through my soul. I use a lot of texture, layers, and thoroughly build the compositions of my acrylic paintings. My landscapes are inspired by travel and brightness of Italian and tropical islands’ nature. Sun kissed hills, seaside views, pink houses and beautiful trees. My hands represent the years of technical training and have a great influence over how the imagination is realized on the canvas.
My paintings are surrealistic and whimsical. I people them with dream imagery, fantastic landscapes and beautiful women. I thoroughly build my compositions, each one is unique and sometimes grotesque.
Teaching is big part of my creative life. I teach realistic drawing and painting, create teenage portfolios that get them admitted to top schools. My students have been admitted to RISD, Ringling College of Art and Design, and Art Institute of Chicago.
