A Rose for Saskia

Biography: Magical beauty of artistic paintings or drawings have since my early youth occupied my attention. Fascinated with beauty of nature or a portrait of an old master. Any free time I had, I have spent it with a pencil or a paint brush. Throughout that time I was searching for something fascinating, something unique, a new idea. At the present moment and time I am focused on symbolically opening a window to the past and introducing masterpieces of well known masters in my own way: “Mail from the Past” – Van Gogh, “Tribute to the Caravaggio”. In that style I want to also present other famous people, such as Nikola Tesla. The Illusionism of the paintings, the Trompe-l`œil or the trick of the eye, has also captured my attention from the surface of a flat canvas, I get the impression of dimensions. My attention still stays on traditional styles of painting: nature, still life, as well as portraits. “The panting rises from the brush stokes as a poem rises from the words. The meaning comes later.” – Joan Miro My history exhibition of more than 100 group exhibitions: Old country, Germany, Canada.SAD, a few independent exhibitions many award.
