Definition of Freedom

50x70cm, Tempera on wallpaper

This one started with the study of limited palette of white/black/y.ochre/cad.red and the idea to draw something based on folklore.
At the end the painting turned into a symbolic definition of freedom: dignity, wisdom, strength and free will.

Elephants in the Interior. What a joy to draw and paint without any obligations, for the pure pleasure of the process. Freedom in its pure meaning.

See You Next Winter

Narrow shelf near the entrance door several weeks ago was holding my winter savers - mittens, gloves, beanie. Today these guys are washed and hidden in the wardrobe to wait for next winter.

Warm and Cool Palette

Trying to catch day colors using warm (up) and cool (down) palettes. After so many times sketching the same view from the window, I painted these frames from memory.
