I am an European artist who passionately loves paint a contemporary images derived from nature. In my life and my art, nature reaches out to and reflects the core of my being. My goal is to present its essence, unprejudiced – the evil as well as the good – as human torment cannot be glossed over, especially when it comes to children. Their eyes, defenseless and naked, reveal a suffering they have not yet learned the words to express, and so my art speaks for them.

Since a very young age the trees exercised a mysterious fascination over me. On top of that, while studied to obtain BFA the contextual practise has opened my mind to deeper understanding that trees are not only capable to feel and sending electrical signals across a fungal network but also can count, learn and remember awareness of the visual impossibilities. Also, my desire is to capture the spectacular power and beauty of nature – to feel it, explore it, and then transpose all of what I have experienced into images. While creating my abstracts, I need to show the drama and violence that surrounds us. There is so much tragedy in the world, it is overwhelming, and sometimes I feel helpless against it. Another great concern is human intervention in wildlife, and this concern is also reflected in my artwork.

Reading Vitale’s The Secret made me stronger by using unique insights and practical life wisdom to truly understand myself. It wasn’t until, I discovered The Secret that I realized how powerful meditation can be to feel a fullness of gaining control over my thoughts even deeper. Then, I made an important point while visiting small town Roccaporena, Italy and experienced their incredible rareness things connected with a human’s suffering in the past. The uniqueness of the colours appeared on the trees were so warmed and spiritually connected. However, it required patience to figure out why they were granted on my two visits later. It some circles it is said that Saint Rita is one who always asks a high price for any favor she grants. Whenever she gives something, it is reported, she takes something away. Indeed, there is a sense. I had deducted by then that these trees were not just alive but consciously sending messages as well. I wanted to learn whatever it was their intention to teach me. This becomes my new goal, almost like an obsession to transforming all that experience into memorable abstraction on canvases.

What do I want to say more with my artwork? Capturing the truth when my color speaks is everything. Moreover, I strive to convey the sense of spiritual guides by portraying the accuracy of the initial subjects and scenes. For me, it’s so important providing a visual detail and truthfulness as resulting in a fullness which can be seen in the eyes of the subjects.

It’s no easy for many viewers to see a visual vocabulary that triggered me as a bingo while exploring the impulses from behind the consciousness. I want to translate the voices of feelings through puzzles of colors, although searching for the connection and logical perfection as well. It’s like a constant search for the contexts and truth. As a victim of violence and a witness to forgiveness and one day, I discovered an intercessor at Roccaporena on whom I can count in my time of needs. Blessed indeed!

The dramatic light in my artwork is unified by carefully controlled palette and colors. It’s as if magic flows around my easel. In my opinion, it is so important that the powerful action of the light shifts our attention away from the physiognomy of the figures and onto the overall space and indeterminate drama that seems to be taking place. Light also imbues the image with a strong sense of a particular moment captured in time.

My philosophical approach is to distinguish the ‘mysterious’ links between human’s mind interpreted by the professions while enlightening the secret wisdom of trees. In the other words, I am trying to find references of this research to attain the sufficient explanations about mystical secrecy in relationship between the trees and appearance colors uniqueness.
