About
The subject in my paintings are mainly personal experiences. Putting my self in working situation constructed around the focus on tiny parts of them, I aim to re-experience those through the painting process, rather than to account them. In that setup I can kind of brake the logical path of my thinking and enter in more surprising territories. I don't aim to depict something, but more to be amused, from what have been just depicted, so the result is rather self-formed image, than artifact of the imagination.
