Artist Statement

The creation of images in the "New Pointillism" requires a significant amount of time. This highly meditative process stands in stark contrast to the fast-paced, digital age and invites the viewer to appreciate the slow, conscious creation of beauty. The experience of standing before one of these images should be a journey into silence, a rare commodity in today's art world, where shock value is often prioritized over substance.
My paintings, beyond their aesthetic beauty, convey a message about the necessity of slowness and contemplation in our fast-paced world.
