Artist
I live in Burnaby, British Columbia. The vast and colourful heritage of my old European homeland gave me the basis of who I am today and living in North America has enriched my vision. Each and every corner of this bountiful West Coast and its vivid nature inspires me daily.
I love colours and the effect they have on our emotions. When I see a colour, I feel it with all my senses. My goal as an artist is to tell you what I see and feel through paint. I use acrylic and oil as mediums and express myself through a style that blends the emotional light of Impressionism with the grounded presence of soft realism.
In short, I like to recreate the places that bring me happiness, serenity and joy and it is my pleasure to share them with you.
I also create abstracts that are dynamic meditations on the natural and emotional worlds. Rooted in my typical style, these artworks balance energetic mark-making with an underlying sense of calm. Layers of colour, texture and spontaneous line converge to create dreamlike topographies — maps of memory, movement and inner landscapes.
Each piece invites the viewer to pause and explore, revealing organic forms that hover between the familiar and the fantastical. Botanical suggestions, mythical creatures, atmospheric fields — seem to emerge and dissolve, echoing the fleeting quality of thought and sensation.
My palette shifts with mood and season — from cool watery blues and greens to warm bursts of vermilion, ochre and sunlit gold. The linework weaves a narrative through each painting, offering a visual language that feels ancient and personal — all at once.
These abstract works are not meant to be decoded but felt. They offer no single interpretation — only an invitation to wander through layers of wonder.
And off to the newest adventure…
