About the Work
About the Artist

It can be difficult to decipher the subject matter of an abstract work. But in this drawing, one cannot help but recognize the timeless motifs beloved by artists of all arts. It is a yearning for light, an attempt to break free from boundaries to experience something greater. Here, the power of these unknown flowers seems to reach for a light in the corner of the painting, barely noticeable or even existing solely in our imagination. Fine lines and thick brushstrokes of ink intertwine, creating a sense of movement and life. This work evokes a sense of hope and longing, as if the flowers are searching for their way to the light.

A superb graphic artist, working in a vast array of techniques. His paintings borrow the jagged, broken, and intense lines of drypoint. The subjects in his works are mere images, behind which something more can be discerned—the fluidity of human emotions. The author's established and recognizable visual language possesses a distinctive "disharmonious harmony," an organic chaos that almost becomes abstract.
