I would describe myself as someone who lives with watercolour, immersed within it. I am captivated by its delicacy, its unpredictability, and the special way it responds to water. My inspiration often comes from nature, so flawlessly crafted by God. At the same time, the vibrant energy of city life also draws me in—the noise, the activity, the shifting shadows on buildings in the sunlight, or the reflections shimmering on wet streets after rain. Colour holds particular significance for me; the palette I select shapes the evolution, spirit, and mood of each piece. Through my art, I invite you to imagine, to escape to a place of tranquility and goodness… Enigmatic, yet safe… Wishing you a pleasant journey!

About this artwork+
The painting captures a melancholically serene scene of Uzutrakis Manor, enveloped in a foggy, atmospheric veil. A stone pathway leads the eye through the composition, flanked by an elongated, weathered balustrade that evokes a sense of age and history. The steps appear worn, suggesting frequent visits, now past. The mist obscures much of the surrounding landscape, creating an air of mystery and quiet isolation. Subtle hints of the expansive estate perhaps lie in the enveloping grey, muted by the thick fog that blends sky and land into a seamless, soft expanse. The overall monochromatic palette deepens the mood, focusing attention on the textural contrasts between stone, air, and the hidden flora. This dreamy vista invites contemplation, standing as a quiet testament to a place outside of time.
