The scenery passing by me always gives me a happy expectation that something new and enjoyable will happen. Overgrown plants, secluded parks, and empty playgrounds and buildings seem to establish a small wish for peaceful growth. My paintings capture fleeting moments of happiness and are a source of emotional rejuvenation which I interpret onto canvas. I draw inspiration from the impression of light and colour that surround me daily, which motivates me to explore new worlds and designs. The canvas is stretched on a wooden frame, sides painted, and a thin layer of matte varnish protects the artwork against UV light and dust. The artwork is signed and dated on the back.
