The painterly compositions were created from figures incorporated into an expressive background, using geometric elements. The realization was created with the help of designs made with the collage technique, which encouraged the combination of many means of expression, which are visible in the series of paintings. The main means of expression is the spot and the line. The predominant colors oscillate between beiges and grays. An emerald hue appears in places, as well as white to illuminate the composition. Red is an accent in the compositions. The figures from the studio elements move towards synthesis. They become elements of a puzzle. The elements that make up the composition are unified by sweeping brushstrokes. The artist was inspired by the work of Robert Raushenberg, especially his different approach to art. The work of Guy Denning, a British painter who makes paintings and graffiti of a bold, predatory nature, also became a certain engine of inspiration. The author of the works was captivated by their expressiveness and modern approach to art. Thus, the series presented here is based on the use of many means of expression, various kinds of tools, starting with small sticks and ending with wide spatulas, which give character to the compositions.
