The artist's new works
Painting is like silent poem, said Simonides, poet from ancient Greece.Paintings are icons, doors to the Platonian world above the heavens. Paintings on my blog are just those icons, which lead a viewer into the magic world of harmony and beauty. Artists who present their achievements on my blog have a very different cultural and national background, they represent variety of artistic traditions and schools

"... the paintings may speak for themself. They live their own lives behind the words.
But
something overall may be said after all. I choose to summarize most of
my production under the term "motion". Since I througout adult life has
been a performing cellist on the side of my civilian profession, has
music in mostly been a driving force and inspiration. Music is movement,
and movement is an expression of life.
In the same way I experience
my painting. In colors is life, music, rhythm. In colors and forms are
everything we recognize, but in addition there are infinite
opportunities for new discoveries and experiences. We may be affected,
seduced, upset and make voyages of discovery in constant dialogue with
what we see. Seeing a picture is like hearing a peace of music over and
over again. The experience will never be the same.
Most of the time I paint from inner visions where freedom, imagination, rhythm, form and balance are important keywords.
Thus,
the same criteria that characterize music. The result is often
inpredictable because new opportunities are opening up in the becoming,
which in turn can bring the painting into new and surprising paths.... "
