My painting, which today is my foremost occupation, is apparently and inevitably inseminated by the two other arts in which I engage. The content element, which seems to revolve around man`s existence and interpersonal relationship with all its drama, tragedy, heroism, absurdity, and altogether beauty, is in many ways the product of my connection to literature and my personal biography. Similarly, many visual elements of my work feed on my affinity to music.
In addition to oil painting and mixed media, I am lovingly and passionately engaged in the various forms of artistic printmaking. However, I keep a dominant and central place in my heart for wood and linoleum cuttings, perhaps, among other reasons, due to the considerable physical element involved in this technique.
