Nature in general and people in particular are the focus of my work. Whether it is experiences, adventures and impressions that I was able to gather during my many years in Russia, Uzbekistan and Laos, or human relationships, feelings and sensations - I try to capture ambience, nuances and what remains unexpressed in snapshot-like images. My preferred techniques are acrylic painting and printmaking.
