​

Going to nature is good for your soul; hence i try to bring the outside, inside the viewer, finding peace and beauty in unexpected dwellings and peculiar matters. I have always been into nature and that is where my inspiration mainly originates from.

​

I seldom put anything of psychological meaning into my art for the observer to interpret. I'm a truly insecure and introverted person, a shrinking violet, which can perhaps be simultaneously seen in my art, however, I would say my artworks appear somehow sensitive, modest, delicate and melancholic in addition to the insecureness. I strive my art to appear rather realistic with a personal and peculiar twist of my own hand and style with sort of lanky qualities.

​

I use quite muted, cold and dark colour scheme in my works that can conceivably be perceived as gloomy and depressing. Frankly speaking, I often can be intimidated and petrified by highly saturated colours.

 

All my artworks tend to be small, perhaps relating to my personality traits as well. The collection of my favourite pieces consists of tiny oil paintings, minuscule etching prints and small drawings. Thus, i mainly use mediums suited for my precise and small style, etching, drawing with a ballpoint pen, painting on a smooth cardboard surface and doing art digitally with a drawing tablet.
