Wherever I have lived, I found the opportunity to create everywhere

About Me

I started to travel in 1998 at the age of 25.
A new world opened before me as if it would have been a different dimension to a country boy like me.

Over the past 10 years I was in quite a few places including deserts or metropolises which inspired me to paint even nowadays. I lived in Israel, New Zealand and Scotland, too. I opened up my mind before the sights and I wanted to accept almost everything. I thought I’ve discovered God’s face in the beauty of the created Earth. I felt I could embrace or grasp it only by painting.

…The world has been accelerated around us and so our lives with it. Sometimes I have to pay attention even to myself so that I wouldn’t be part of the stream. One of the objectives of my paintings is to encourage people to stop. Forget about their hectic lives for a moment and travel with me to the world the way I see it. I strive for simplicity and clarity with my realist style. I do not want to urge my audience to think, but let their eyes and soul rest on my paintings.

My private life

I believe I’ve settled and I’m also contented. God gave me a wonderful wife and two children, and now they’re my home. This is where I belong to. Not so long ago the “Big World” was the place where I really felt being at home, but that’s another way of life that I had to leave behind. It is well known that changes are necessary in our lives. Without changes, there is stasis after a while.

I love how life is in progress, it goes ahead. There was time to settle. I built a house, I have a small land, some animals, and we planted trees, which I would like to see growing.

I think the growth of trees is wonderful and it’s great to monitor it meanwhile you can realize the passing years. In this case I consider the results either successes or failures of the past. Though I do not just live in the past, the future is more important, because we also have aims and desires.

One of my favorite philosophies of life is not only living for the moment and joy but also a purposeful, disciplined life taking responsibility for our actions, speech and thoughts.

I think it does not matter whether we’ll be rich or not. The main question is whether we’ll remain people of honor not depending on our financial status. When time comes and we have to say good bye to the earthly existence we should not be ashamed. On the contrary, committing yourself feel free and proud to look into the eyes of the Eternal, and you can say “I did it”.
