I mostly work with oil paintings and have a self-taught approach to my craft. My art is rooted in expressionism, capturing the emotions and inner world of my subjects. I specialize in figurative works, particularly portraits and nudes, exploring the raw and authentic human form. Through my art, I aim to depict the complexities of the human experience, including themes of isolation and introspection. My work is heavily influenced by the concept of "Szcitsofrania" – a fusion of the words schizophrenia and utopia, representing the duality of the mind and the search for inner balance. Thank you for taking the time to explore my art. Contact me if you're interested in obtaining a painting.
