This summer we painted our bedroom,black and white which gave me the idea to paint
"matching"  colored paintings.

About Painting.

In developing my own style in painting I have experimented with square colored pieces.
Originally it was based upon the work of Mondriaan. His works were too "square" for
me; I want to show something one can recognize in a picture, but you have to concentrate a
little bit for it. One more restriction I put on myself is the use of straight black lines and
all the squares must be surrounded by a black line.(I also    used  colored lines already)
The lines are often of a different size; sometimes to express
depth or importance of the part in the painting.Mondriaan tried  to loose all depth in his paintings, i try to do the opposite,i love to get depth and hopefully : optical movement ,in the squares and in the painting. Another difference , I do not hate   natural colors   like green........
Luckily  iI have   a normal Job to pay for   my housing and food,  i am poor enough to be  creative  but  not that poor as a lot of artists were or are. I do not feel myself a lesser  artist  , because I have a normal job , wife and kids and lead a normal life. People expect  a artist to be eccentric , but I have a normal haircut,normal clothes and think normal as far as I know....
Hope  you    like   my work
