Painting is a very reflective and personal process which partially explains my choice of the painting medium - soft pastels - as they create no barrier between me and an artwork. I use them predominantly in a painterly manner, often in washes, pushing the boundaries of this medium. I pour all my being and energy into my work, painting and drawing only what I feel and have lived through. I’ve been always fascinated by time, full of fear of its passing. I keep capturing those fleeting moments of life, my painting subjects being on the verge, in transition: a landscape at dawn or sunset; a person in their transitional age or state of mind, on a move; ever changing water reflections; the light which is about to fade, a breaking wave. I may paint and draw various subjects but it's the vulnerable, the ephemeral in them that I am looking for.
