Commissions & Themes & Projects
Commissions
Private inquiries are most welcomed. As an artist, one of the most rewarding parts of my career is spending time with my clients and discussing their ideas. The creation process relies so heavily on one-on-one idea exchanges, and in fact it is an exchange of energy which forms an image from which I can work.
Themes & Projects
My favorite subjects are landscapes, people, buildings, and themes. In theme-based art, interpretations are infinite and leave room for creativity.
Artists are invited to submit art and show how their art is visualized.
Plein-Air
It is my usual practice to take a picture and then paint it to bring it to life with motion. In recent years, I have grown increasingly fond of painting outdoors, which is both enjoyable and challenging. Changing from a photograph to plein air is like switching from a tricycle to a two-wheeler. In order to capture the fleeting light and rapid pace of the scene while chasing sunlight and shadow, snow, clouds, foliage, trees, fields, and water I need to quickly choose which details to paint from a 360-degree panoramic view.
