There are two main themes in my work that occur often. I’m drawn to people and their organic shape. It fascinates me how you can draw a person and bring out his/hers personality without drawing photo realistically.

In addition to humans I’m facinated by sunsets and sunrises. At the moment of taking a picture I’m usually drawn by the contrast of light and shadow, and the colors made by light in the clouds and horizon. I capture the feeling mostly by camera and sometimes I try to replicate my own pictures in aquarelle works.
