“Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul.”
Marc Chagall
I am a realist painter drawn to the realms of symbolism and mysticism. My work explores the timeless beauty that resides within all living things—a beauty inherent in nature and reflected in the human spirit. I believe this inner beauty is not only constant but essential, connecting body, mind, and soul in profound harmony.
Using traditional oil painting techniques, often enriched with gold leaf, I aim to create works that evoke a sense of the sacred and the eternal. Meditation is central to my creative process; it is in stillness that I envision new pieces, allowing forms, ideas, and intricate details to emerge with clarity and purpose.
Through my art, I invite viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper, often unseen layers of existence.
I was born in 1984 in Ljubljana, where I've lived and worked till the end of 2017. The same year I also graduated at the College of Visual Arts – Arthouse. At the beginning of 2018 I moved to Holzkirchen near Munich, Germany.
