Exhibition displays more than 40 pieces of art created during the last three years, mostly landscapes and silent natures. Some of them are not exhibited before. The power of colours the artist shows painting in the oil technique. About the exhibition the artist says: “The play between colours and light interests me the most. Inalienable part of each painting is subjective feelings, moods, emotional experience and the magic of that moment. Maybe often daily beauty- colours, smells, tastes, sounds, feelings- it creates emotional abundance for myself. There is a need for something more than just a words and that is painting. It is also a way to keep those gorgeous, running and unique moments of life. It is a message and conversation with the rest of the world, because the colours can tell us everything in a more accurate and nuance way.”
