I paint beloved and familiar landscapes from my immediate surroundings and the north of my country, at different seasons and times. The thinking is influenced by the Impressionist current, whereby the painters repeatedly painted the same places at different times while expressing their feelings.
I often work in my studio, sometime using a photo file that I took outside, as an inspiration combining landscape details from several photos and creating one painting. Sometime I draw from my memories, sometimes I create sketches in the area. Thus I create a kind of fantastic, imaginative landscapes with large and fast strokes, without careful planning, like a painting in the consciousness of a dream, in the colorfulness of the most intense which express my energetic character . I create mainly on medium and large canvases, sometimes the painting is on one surface and sometimes it consists of several adjacent surfaces, where each part can be a work in itself but also be part of a larger work, a modular work, consisting of a variety of parts that create large physical spaces. Like endless panels. This is how I manage to express a sense of space, breath and freedom that I especially crave due to my daily pursuits as an art therapist with at-risk youth..
I often paint in strong and optimistic colors that also give me a sense of hope, joy and vitality, daring and energy, while reflecting on my inner world. I try to convey these feelings to the viewer so that he can see the reflection of his inner as well as the outer world. The landscapes are a kind of general generic landscapes so that a viewer can find his own landscapes in them..
Recently I have been painting abstract and completely imaginary landscapes, sometimes combining texts in works, which also deal with questions about the creation of the world, understanding order from chaos that corresponds with the Covid-19 period as well as dealing with longing for my beloved family and friends through new content in paintings childishness, gameplay, illustration, and wellbeing. The Covid-19 that changed world orders changed the routine reference and the topics of my work as well as the sizes and surfaces on which I create. Small sizes due to the feeling of closure and suffocation I felt at the beginning of the Covid-19 I was able to create on small canvases and gradually as I felt more optimistic I went back to creating on medium and large canvases as usual.
