How would you react if you win a Global Art Award at the Armani Dubai Burj Khalifa surrounded by international Press and the Elite from the Art World?

I would certainly be very honored and I’m sure it could or would be a big step in my career, although I’ve always known that quality is the result of hard work and nothing goes by itself.
I’m a hard passionate worker and believe in what I’m doing and this award would certainly be a huge support to go further in what I’m doing.

How would you describe yourself? And your artwork?

Passionate, hard worker and loving what I’m doing, hoping that I can mean something to my clients and go the extra mile to convince and satisfy.

My artwork (painting) is known as ‘Meridianism’, I work with pallet knives and you will always find Horizontal and Vertical stripes and lines, referring to the Meridians of the Globe.

What drives you?

Passion and daily luck, enjoying life, seeing simple things… and making an artwork of it.

What is your definition of art?

An Artist and his creations

‘A relation between the creator and the admiror is the most complex and unexplanable that ever had existed. Without words, there is an incredible magnificent communication that reflects the inner passion between them.

The art you buy from an artist is not simply an object but is an investment, An investment in a piece of a heart and soul…

And even a piece of the creator’s life, because this piece of art is not only created as result of hours of errors and experimentation, but also years of frustrations and moments of pure joy. Art is the most valuable way of communication, with knowing that the admiror and creator can live or understand it in a different way, knowing there is no right or wrong, only a strong powerfull connection.

This is art, touching people in their heart without wanting to hurt, doing big efforts to make people happy with the beauty of the passion and the power of imaginatioin.

This is my vision of art, the way I make it, right from my heart and soul.Art is my second skin!’

Where do you get your inspiration?

Everything I see, experience daily motivates me to work on. I try to transfer negative news into positive. There is to much negative news and this is why I made also my own ‘feel good Gazette’ to search for positive things, charity, but with concrete results. Please feel free to see my first edition.
