You might be wondering why abstract art.

My love story with abstract art began in 2018. I had previously tried all kinds of other different mediums. I drew people, I painted landscapes, underwater sceneries with dolphins, sunset seascapes, lions and tigers. At some point I felt that I need to try something completely different where there aren’t so many rules.

I had seen so many beautiful abstract paintings online and always wondered what it would be like to paint abstract. It took me many months to convince myself to take this huge leap of faith. I’m so glad that I made that decision.

At first it was very difficult to transfer from painting realism to painting abstract because as a person I need the feeling that I have control over things in my life and if I don’t, it causes a lot of stress and worry. I realized that I needed to let go of control. I just needed to start and trust that what needs to be born on the canvas, will. Giving up control and surrendering was actually very freeing experience for me.

When it comes to painting abstract, there is so much more freedom.. With traditional art I was always worried if I got details right and eventually I didn’t enjoy it as much as I did in the beginning. I figured that if that doesn’t bring me joy anymore then what’s the point?

Abstract art lets me express myself so much easier and communicate with a feeling. Since my paintings are inspired by nature, I try to represent the world around us through my work.

With abstract art I don’t need reference photos. I have total freedom. There are no rules. I like to use different shapes, lines, colors and texture in my work.

I love that people get to interpret my work in their own way, I always love to hear what people see in my work and how it makes them feel.
