At very young age I started to draw and in my teens having private lessons from different artists at their studios before going to the Art Academy Minerva. Nature is important to me making sketches and snapshots of flowers, trees and plants using those to create a personal impression of the natural beauty and not a realistic image. With the combination of washed ink ( Indian ink diluted with water in various degrees ), charcoal and pastels I created an unique style with picturesque results. I invented this method myself during Art School and had my final exams with this technique. Besides old Italian masters my artworks are influenced by 16th century ink wash masters like Hasegawa Tòhaku and Sesshù Tòyò with their overwhelming landscapes and the famous French 18th century pastelmasters like Rosalba Carriera and Quentin de la Tour.
