Sobre el Artista

My paintings are actually personal diaries. Anytime I look at some of them I can remember the exact feelings and condition in which they originated. I don´t create with exact idea of what is to appear on the canvas. Everything comes intuitively. I find bizzare characters, faces, animals and monsters after the painting is finished. It´s like lying on the grass, watching the clouds and suddenly seeing the strange things in them. It´s up to you and your imagination to find „something“ in the paintings. Or don´t discover anything, just let the colours work on you. I am pure amateur and I learned everything about painting by myself. I don´t have any idol, because the art is very personal to me. I don´t like comparing to someone, to paint like someone. Of course I have my favourite artists: Vincent van Gogh, Vladimír Boudník, Paul Gaugin,… But they mainly influenced me by how they lived, following their own path. I perceive the paintings not only by my eyes, but by all the senses. I read that van Gogh even ate paints. I understand him now. I love the smell of paints, I love to touch them. That´s the main reason why I paint mainly with my fingers and why my paintings have a structure. The other reason is that I hate to clean the paintbrushes :). Today´s world is very accelerated and people began to lose their ability to perceive details. Everything is digitized and people are moving away from life in nature. That´s why I am trying to impress those receptive ones with my paintings and show them beauty in everyday things such a peeling wall, rusty piece of iron, the bark of old tree, etc. Living in the heart of nature and watching its everyday changes helps me a lot with that. My paintings have no names for one simple reason: I don´t want to give the onlookers instructions what to see or feel. I paint for myself, but if anyone finds something that appeals to him or her I am glad for it and I feel satisfied. I love people who are able to get away from conventions and to see the hidden things thanks to their fantasy and imagination.
