DRAWINGS
fine art, painting,
I enjoy using soft pastels for my drawings. The medium allows me to be free, blend the colours easily and create emotional expressions. Some drawings are sketches from nature, others represent abstract ideas.
FIELD
Soft Pastel on Paper 42 x 58 cm / 16.5" x 23"
An expressive drawing of a green field with little white flowers scattered in it. The soft pastel technique allows me to simultaneously blend the colours and reveal individual strokes. This increases the intensity and emotional dynamic of the image.

AUTUMN TREES
Soft Pastel on Paper, 30 x 42 cm / 12" x 16.5"
Two autumn trees; one still in it's glorious golden robe, and the other - completely stripped off and naked. Maybe a reminder for acceptance and humility.

ON THE SURFACE AND UNDERNEATH
Soft Pastel on Paper, 27 x 35 cm / 10.6" x 14"
An abstract composition showing the surface of the sea and what is underneath. The peaceful appearance on the surface is quite misleading. Big powerful waves are rising from the bottom and are about to break the stillness.

BREASTPLATE
