Artist Statement:
Has a special atraction for
the baroque light, contrast
and darkness - conflict,
inquietude, torment. His
masters: Rembrandt,
Caravaggio, Turner, Medardo
Rosso.
Part of his work is a
reinterpretation of impressive
images of our times addressed
by the media - and many times
made common place by the
latter or simply forgotten in
routine. See, for example, his
painting called "No More",
based on a newspaper
photography about Sarajevo
during war. Even strange
references to the World Trade
Center terrorist attack is
present here, in special in
his paintings "Meeting" and
"What Wonderful World".
There is an expressionist
character in his style, in
which emotion - the inner side
- has a greater importance
than being faithful to reality
of the external world.
Nevertheless, his tendence is
less abstract than figurative.
