My works speaks about painting itself and about how I understand it. My abstract, virtually monochromatic paintings deal with purely pictoral matters. The color and a spot are becoming the main themes of my paintings. It turns out that these simple matters are becoming the beginning of something more profound to me. It is very intresting for me to find out in which forms the color appears on surface of the canvas. I consider color a phenomen and painting a kind of visual game.
