I place great value on high-quality materials. Quality and longevity are essential to me and are an integral part of my artistic practice. Today, I work on professionally prepared canvases with a dense weave and solid wooden frames. I primarily use professional-grade acrylic and oil paints from established artist brands, as well as selected oil and the Horadam watercolor paints by Schminke. I work intuitively with brushes and palette knives, depending on the desired effect. I also enjoy working with mixed media, often using unconventional tools to create interesting textures. Varnish is applied by agreement with the collector. Some of my earlier works were painted during a formative phase of my artistic development, using high-quality paints on more modest supports. Several of these works hold a particularly strong place within my overall body of work. Their intensity, expression, and emotional clarity make them key pieces that continue to define my artistic language to this day. As an experienced gallerist once shared with me: a compelling artwork retains its meaning regardless of its medium. I share this perspective — Today, I consciously choose materials that reflect the level and direction of my current work.
