Painting Summer Bouquet
Summer Bouquet, oil on canvas was painted in summer 2019.
Which I particularly love about the summers is the abundance of flowers in the garden. I usually like to have a morning stroll around the flower beds, see what is new and pick some flowers for the bouquet. Sometimes I would bring a twig from the forest or use some weeds picked among the flowers to put among the bouquet flowers.
And it is at that time that I already see the new painting I am going to paint. Although the hard work begins from that moment on, for a painting to be finished in situ questions have to be answered, one by one. Composition, colors, accents, textures…yet the best occurs when during work flow problems get solved by themselves. Itbis that type of painting when brush seems to paint on its own, yet the painting proceeds to the best possible direction. Which needs a lot of former study and hard work to be accomplished before even starting the canvad, yet is the most rewarding and happy moment for the painter.
And this canvas is among those painted seemingly by itself. Giving me the joy of creation I worked on it during last summer. The size is big enough that looking at it one gets immediately the same feeling as if the real bouquet would be in the room, wrapping our senses in the song of summer colors and shapes……..

On the Table, Flowers, Colored Pencils on Paper, from the New Normal Series 2020
Colored pencils on paper
Colored pencils drawings on paper is the technique I’ve used for my recent painting series New Normal. I just love the simplicity of a colored line on the paper at one side and the sublime color possibilities of the old fashioned coloured pencils on the other side.
It’s a sort of vis a vis of the simple idea of the elemental drawing on the paper towards the complexity of the depicited scenery and hidden emotions. And just this seems to be the real, true physical synapse where interfere my feelings and the investigating of the painting possibilities given by the certain moment of time, namely the time of isolation due to Covid epidemic.
I like certain fragility of the drawings achieved with coloured pencils. Or, if you wish, I like having the courage to use simple colored pencils to express some serious message about my personal feelings of unease, perhaps even fear due to the uncertainity of the given situation. And yet it all seems so normal……
New Normal
New Normal, new painting series made in isolation, at times of global pandemic, spring/summer 2020.
My new painting series talks about the new times. New times when everything seems perfectly normal, yet there is a certain feeling in the air. Something telling these new times are different. Not bad, not worse, but different….And there is no detail confirming what is different now, and as much we want, we cannot determine where lies the code for that new sensation……
