After several successful solo shows I started to devote my attention to my art Making this career change, I moved to Toronto Canada. Being a full time artist I became an Elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists in 2009. In 2010 I opened my second studio in Palm Beach, FL. Currently my artwork is exhibited in art galleries in US, Canada and Europe

Artist Statement

My works are about visual perception and the ways in which the imagination or sometimes even a simple object responds to color, line, texture or pattern. The “Thing” or “Subject” by itself, surrounded by “Great Nothing”, is my excitement. I try to establish a very private dialog between the viewer and the subject matter of my painting. It is a simple and sincere conversation without any unnecessary details.
