About Me

I have been painting professionally for over 20 years. I've had exhibited my artworks in USA, China, Singapore, Austria, Japan and Slovenia. My paintings could be found in private collections in USA, Australia, China, New Zealand and Singapore as well as in various European countries. I hold BA degree from the University of Economics, Ljubljana-Slovenia and BFA from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing-China. I have also studied oil painting at the College of Fine Art, Edinburgh-Great Britain and attended several oil painting workshops in Spain.
My native county is Slovenia and I currently live and work in Tokyo, Japan.

I use nature in a calculated way as a source of ideas... I look at nature abstractly and concentrate more on painting. I choose a subject not because I like the view as such, but because I feel its potential of giving me a structure on which I build an interesting picture. In that sense I am abstract expressionist. Colors that I use are intuitive; I seldom follow the color scheme that I see in nature. I feel I can't duplicate nature, I can only interpret it. I only use natural objects to convey my inner thoughts, ideas and express my feelings. My paintings are visual border stones between reality and inner experience of the outside world.
