Three genres, one idea

Graphics of Imagery

A world perception. Feelings splashed out of ink on paper instantly, with one stroke, with one gesture. To complete the image, an emphasis is added, highlighting the main idea.

Abstract Expression

A splash of emotions, feelings, joys and pains that flow onto the canvas in smooth, sharp lines, strokes and splash, forming something single.

Abstract Symbolism

The images that fill our whole life, regardless of the time frame. Works in this style are performed in a mixed technique.

The idea behind these three genres is that each of us is part of this world, part of a single organism. If everyone creates good, not only for themselves but around themselves, the world will change.
