My paintings are arranged into series, which I have been painting concurrently for many years. "Invisible Cities" are visions of metaphorical cities, inspired by Italo Calvino's book of the same title and my travels through the world's most interesting metropolises of the world. "Traveler's Room" is a series of interiors filled with eclectic furniture and exotic landscapes. In the paintings from the "Theater of the World" series, I depict various aspects of life in a world full of puzzles and paradoxes, while in the "Mythology of the Suburbs" series, I place threads of private mythology in a setting of nostalgic streets and abandoned buildings. "Cathedral" series encompasses visions of Gothic and Baroque vaults suspended above the landscape. Welcome and explore!
Invisible Cities
"With cities, it is as with dreams: everything imaginable can be dreamed, but even the most unexpected dream is a rebus that conceals a desire or, its reverse, a fear."
The Traveller's Room
"I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space"
The Cathedral
"Europe is where the cathedrals reach"
Theatre of the World
"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more."
Mythology of the Suburb
"I don't know where in childhood we come across certain images that have a decisive meaning for us. They play the role of those threads in the solution around which the meaning of the world crystallizes for us. (...) Such images constitute a program, they constitute the iron capital of the spirit, given to us very early in the form of premonitions and half-conscious experiences." Bruno Schulz, letter to Witkacy
