ARTIST STATEMENT

As a painter, I draw inspiration from theology, alchemy, and natural and social sciences. I work in Web3 and Crypto Art and explore the symbiotic relationship between art and technology. I am passionate about working in the digital art space because it offers unparalleled opportunities for innovation, aligns with my values of decentralization and empowerment, and is anchored by a vibrant community that fosters continuous learning and growth. I envision this path as a lifelong journey.

My digital paintings are crafted in a Neo-Renaissance style, rich in religious and alchemical symbolism. I am dedicated to reviving the Renaissance aesthetic through digital and traditional tools, merging the timeless beauty of historical art with the cutting-edge possibilities of modern technology. My work is influenced by the grandeur of the Italian and Nordic Renaissance, intertwined with the ethereal beauty of Pre-Raphaelite art.

My passion for digital painting began when I started working as a book illustrator at the age of 15. Since then, I continue to contribute to literary works as well.

I seek meaning by examining my relationship with God and the world, while pondering, for example, the existence of evil. An idea that I am very interested in as an artist is Christian universalism, i.e. the right to forgiveness assigned to all beings, including the damned and the Devil (Apokatastasis). Lately I have been also fascinated with Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism, I am in the process of creating works on this topic.
