Hi, I have been painting and drawing for the love of artistic creativity all my life while engaged in a business of commercial and residential real estate. My training in art started at a young age in Poland through numerous courses and classes I attended while in college in Germany and in the U.S. Learning about art never stops for me. I have painted in watercolors, oil and now focusing on creating in acrylics and currently working on floral series.
My Creative Process
Nature comes to my senses in various ways, but plants and flowers impress me the most. I bring some from the market and arrange them in vases, add “accents”, and take photos. I also take photos of them as I walk on nature’s trails or city’s streets. I paint those that keep impressing me with their composition as a whole and certain details of it in form and color spectrum.
It is the impression of those qualities that I try to render in my paintings. The composition becomes richer or simpler, the forms get flowing lines, different lights and shadows, brighter or settled color tones. Last but not least, by magnifying the flowers, I hope for a stronger projection of my feelings towards the floral art lover.
How Do i Feel
The pleasing anticipation of the painting work drives me to the canvas. Paints and brushes feel like “magic wands” turning flowers presented in reality into my own vision. This is when I feel the freedom of creative expression and accomplishment.
Enjoy your visit!
