He is interested in feeling and depth, relief, dynamics of art work, multi-layeredness... He combines art work with
the written word, symbols and messages.
The artist often uses unconventional materials in his work. Picture on cardboard, wooden
or special bases. He basically uses acrylics, but combines them with polishes, gold or
with silver leaves, bitumen, shellac... He collages a lot and builds a relief textured surface of the picture,
which itself communicates with the viewer, regardless of the main motive.
He is particularly intrigued by portraiture, as the most demanding category in painting, but he is also interested
abstraction and its coexistence with figurative art.
Recently, he has also been creating sculptures and graphics that will be on display at the announced event.
Along with the works of art, the author's poems will also be presented, which were often the inspiration for the created works.
He signs his creations with TAURUS.
