Artist Stetment

Photography, stock images, mass media, and other visual forms, due to their rapid development and accessibility, have replaced traditional painting. Today, it has lost its former influence on a wide audience and given way to modern artistic practices.

In this context, plein air painting holds a central place in the artist's work. By undertaking artistic trips to various locations, he accumulates extensive material that serves as an alternative to photography, based on his own observations and impressions.

In the process of turning sketches into finished works, the artist aims to avoid a conflict between technology and traditional painting.
