Unlimited Possibilities

I view art as a doorway to other dimensions; mysterious, limitless and spiritual, inspiring beauty and amazement. I aim to create artwork that allows people to experience things that would otherwise be impossible for them.

By using light in my paintings as a symbol for divinity, blessing and knowledge, I want to transform negative belief systems into positive ones. This divine light transcends time and space in my paintings and signifies our potential for divinity – allowing us to achieve what seems unattainable.

Art is also significant because it allows us to comprehend metaphysical ideas; offering us a physical illustration we can emotionally understand.

My goal as an artist is to reveal this spiritual potential within ourselves while creating a beautiful and harmonious world with art.

I draw inspiration from mythology, myths, and legends to tell epic stories with my paintings, as if they are part of a grand myth. In these stories, people become heroic figures and the only reality is the divine will each of us possess. Our thoughts determine the outcome of the plot.

I hold oil painting in utmost regard, for it is the most venerable, superior, and esteemed form of painting. To me, there is no better way to communicate visual ideas with their beauty, form, light, and magnificence than through oil painting. Indeed, through the classical oil painting techniques, we are able to emulate and recreate reality and fancy with unparalleled realism. It is the most fitting way to manifest my ideas, and I am eager to explore the possibilities of oil painting.

Painting aims and principles:

• to express archetypal forms and themes, independent of the spirit of the age, to bring the eternal and the timeless to life;
•  a sensual depiction of beauty and harmony, to create elegance with graceful and stylized forms;
•  to capture pathos and emotions;
•  to gain the highest level of pictorial knowledge and craft through continuous learning and self-education.
• The act of creation brings me an unparalleled euphoria, and to share the nuances of the artistic process with those who are yearning for knowledge only serves to magnify the delight. I am eager to impart my mastery of the brush and the pen to those with a burning passion for the arts.

About Me

As an artist I am passionate about using my skills and imagination to create art that resonates with viewers, bringing to life a world of Romantic Realism and Baroque-esque beauty.

My oil paintings and pastels are a testament to my skill, as I capture a lifelike image that goes beyond the flat and over-detailed look of photography. I rearrange and render the visual components in a stylized composition, giving story-like meaning to the image.

Born in 1975 in Stockholm, I began my fine arts studies in Sweden at the school called Konstskolan i Stockholm. In 1999, I moved to Budapest, where I studied oil painting and restoration at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts until 2004. Since then, I have been working as a freelance painter and illustrator, fulfilling assignments from countries around the world.

My work ranges from portraits to still-life to landscapes to individual ideas, and I also teach drawing and painting in my studio in Budapest. I am a true master of my craft, creating works of art that are both realistic and dream-like, and that capture the beauty of the world around us.
