Social Works. Symbolism.

I create social paintings that require thought.

My painting is not a wall decoration. It does not soothe or entertain. It stops you. A viewer looking for something “beautiful” or “understandable” will walk past — and that’s right. My painting begins at the moment when a person asks: “Why exactly this way?” and does not find a quick answer.

Why many works are “not for sale” right now?

What you see before you are my preparatory sketches. They are like a musician’s drafts or a designer’s roughs. They are valuable for their idea and dynamics, but they are NOT a finished product (like the final painting). Based on these sketches, I work on a “Custom Order” basis:

• You choose a sketch or concept you like.
• I create for you a full-fledged, completed work in a large format (canvas/oil or any material of your choice).
• You get the “breath” of that sketch, but in a luxurious, detailed, and high-quality execution, with or without framing in a moulding.

These small works remain in my portfolio as the beginning of a story, while your large painting becomes its finale.

For these works, the title is half the painting.

My painting does not exist without a title. The title is not a caption or an explanation. It enters into a necessary harmony with the image. The word may contradict what you see. It may clarify. It may turn the meaning upside down. But without it, the painting is silent; with it, it speaks.
