Why I’m painting?

Because I like and love it. It gives me freedom, when I paint I’m in my own world and I have a freedom to paint what I like and what I want in that particular moment. That is the main reason why I have a lot of experiments. You can shock in art someone in many ways, and we were witnesses of that through history. I prefer more to produce art that will emerge your feelings, your thoughts, artwork to which you will come again and again and again. That particular and special type of art I call OPVS EVOLVZIONE and they are something specific and personal!

In my case and my painting, sometimes inspiration is some photo, sometimes it’s the artwork of some other artist (because of theme or technique), I have also these special moments when I practically see finished painting that I have never seen before.

Sometimes I dream it and sometimes it’s that moment between dream and reality! After that I made a drawing, but the most difficult thing is to paint that painting as I “saw it” sometimes during the process of painting something new emerges up, something I haven’t expected faces that you see in one moment and faces that you’ve never seen before at this work in the next moment!
