exhibitions, news & reviews

After a few weeks of intense activity and constant emails to and from Rick, my web designer, I am very pleased to have finally launched my new website. As well as a showcase for my artwork, I will use it to publicise current exhibitions, and make available reviews and commentaries of my work, past and […]

I just want to share with you the photo that Allie and Kent sent to me – Guzel guarding her own portrait! She looks very pleased with herself – “This is me!!!!” I am always pleased to make someone’s day!

Firstly, I would like to wish all the readers of my blog a happy New Year and a very successful 2012. Please look at the new addition to my ‘commiss ions‘ section on the website which is dedicated to commissioned portraits of pets and of other animals. There you will find a portrait of our […]

Since the middle of 2012 I’ve been focusing mainly on my Metamorphosis picture collection. I have been experimenting a little with a new painting technique and style using metallic colours and increased structure. The metallic colours allow me to capture a mythological and historical atmosphere in my favourite picture themes. The structure and luminosity of […]

I happily accepted the “Happy Dog” company’s invitation to paint portraits of some of their clients’ dogs and on Saturday 21st September, 2013 I participated in “Pestival 2013″(‘PES’ is the Czech word for dog!) where I had the opportunity to show my work to  visitors of the exhibition. Just a few pictures to show you […]

I have found a new source of inspiration from my travels to England, Dalmatia and Tunisia during the past few months. I have been especially inspired by Mediterranean and oriental colour schemes which I have tried to capture in  my most recent paintings in the Metamorphosis collection which – I am proud to say –  […]

Since February 2014 I have been focusing mainly on Nordic and Polar themes in my new picture collection. The main difference compared to my more recent work (in which I used predominantly metallic colours and usually chose a mythological theme as the subject matter for my pictures) is that these new canvases are often almost […]

At the beginning of 2015 I was asked if I would like to install some paintings from my Perfect World collection in the busy Balabenka Office Complex in Prague 9. At this current time, the entrance area of the building has been completed and my pictures are installed in the reception and lobby area of […]

At the beginning of November I was invited to participate in the shared exhibition ‘Animals in Art’ (following which there was an auction) in the Dolmen Gallery in Prague. The pictures I chose for my section of the exhibition were from my Perfect World and Metamorphosis collections.

Over the past few months my focus has been on painting moody industrial landscapes and atmospheric deserted seascapes.        These paintings might be a bit reminiscent of my older ‘Way through the Darkness’ pictures. I am using a pallet knife technique and more pastose  paint but am trying to add a bit more colour to […]

In March (2.3 – 24.3.2016) I had a solo exhibition in the Dolmen Gallery in the centre of Prague. I chose to present a variety of pictures from both the Perfect World and the Metamorphosis collections in two separate rooms of the gallery.      

Since July 2016 some of my work has been presented in several local galleries in South Devon and I also joined the summer exhibition in TAAG Gallery in Teignmouth.      It was very nice experience generally and I met some great people there who made me feel really welcome. I am planning another shared exhibition […]
