During my life I traveled all around western Europe, but wisiting Holland affected my work wery strong. It was multiple influence. Past, saved in museums, paintings of Vermeer, Rembrant with his etchings, Van Gog, landscapes of Van Ostade, and steel alive motives of Villiam Klez Hede, in combination vith unusual light of presence assured me that searching of world of reality is one of my most important tasks and devotions. Even from the early childhood, I feel wery strong wish to recognize and somehove preserve feelengs made by waching the real world, especialy the light in confrontation with the dark sequences. Ever changeing lingh trought the different objects of reality. The light object interplay. It was, and steel is my great wish to make observer of my work feels the same fealing I have during printing , drawing or painting. My idea is to make a kind of ?trigger?, using techniques and magic of classical painting, printmaking and drawing. I belive in mastership and exselence. Idea and mastership are of equal importance for me.
