Myself

 

Although as a child I would draw for endless hours, I have never attended an art school,

took any painting or drawing classes. My art is a fusion of external reality and the expressive 

power of my inner self. 

 

Usually, I don’t think about what I’m going to paint; the result emerges by itself. I think the 

artist is just the vehicle for wonderful works of art, and what really should be valued, is the 

creation in its entirety, the work in its pure and natural form, not the artist as "Master" but 

rather, as a disciple of this supernatural force.

 

Everyone that observe my paintings, will find themselves in front of an unreal and dreamlike 

world, covered in our distorted reality, deformed and sometimes even humorous details. 

I strongly express myself with colors in a disorderly and naked manner, by the purest 

spontaneity of my subconscious, without technicalities or rules, simply by letting the lines 

and strokes flow through my hands. I do not seek the perfect contrast of colors in my work 

because this eliminates the vast nature of what I have inside, my natural and pure talent.

 

My work shows some traditional aspects of my culture, my appreciation of the social and 

religious world that surrounds me, and some universal legends, fables and mythologies that 

have impacted me throughout the course of my life.  Cobra, abstract expressionism and 

outsider art, have been my inspirations for a long time.  I’m happy with my simple and 

primitive style, as today there are many artists who challenge the world around them in order 

to assert their talents beyond any superficial limitations.  Every work of art is beautiful, real

and valuable, just as long as they are created with the mysterious brushstrokes of the soul.

superficial limitations.  Every work of art is beautiful, real and valuable, just as long as they are created with the mysterious brushstrokes of the soul.
