My Paintings

Painting is one of my greatest hobbies. I have been drawing and painting since my teenage years. I love the artists of the classical school, especially those who are masters of painting the light, so my own style is a kind of tribute to them.

You can find some of my works in my gallery.

My Web design

I built my very first website in 2006, after following an Adobe course. Since then, web design became a challenging passion, and I've been building websites for many people and companies.
Would you like a nice and modern website? Perhaps I can help you to build one.

My Paintings

I love art. I love painting. I started drawing when I was about 15. I admire the classical school art, especially that of the 19th century. But also the contemporary artists who use traditional styles inspire me much. I am constantly learning, that's why I sometimes am copying the masterpieces I like, to learn more about composition, light and color.

You can find some of my paintings and early drawings in this gallery. They are arranged from most recent (top left) to oldest (bottom right). Click on the image for larger view. Some paintings are for sale. Please don't hesitate to contact me when you are interested.
