. Paintings & Sculptures
real - surreal - sculptural - fantastic - haunting
The essence of art should probably always be to delight the viewer, to give him support, peace in a hectic time, but also to stimulate him to look at himself and his environment with different eyes and to think about what is happening around us outside the many direct stimuli of our time in large and small, in deep and shallow, in dark and bright moments - often barely perceptible, but still present.
