    In Focus: Horizons No. 3

    One of the first ones of the series. As of 2025 Horizons is my current artistic evolution ever since I started exploring landscapes, which I was doing in an indirect way. My compositions usually had landscapes backstage behind people and portraits. When I decided to omit figures, landscapes took over the main role and started to evolve.

    Horizons explores imagined, fantastical scenes. In this body of work, I challenge reality, questioning the hows and whys using art as a means of escape from everyday life. Horizons is one of my longest-running series to date, and it continues to evolve with each new piece.

    In Focus: Winter Days

    Emotion, reflection, a sense of calm or maybe something else? Perhaps all of them? These are some of the experiences I felt when I painted this one. It might be one of the most abstract pieces I have made with hints of shapes and objects. Some of the original ideas I had were flowers and faces, which evolved into something else, but the essence is there. At the end it veered into a dreamy night scene including a figure, can you see it?
