Dear friends,

I am happy to invite you to my first personal exhibition “Real Magic” at Galerie Frey. The exhibition will showcase my artworks from the past few years including some very fresh ones, that just come off the easel. The past few years have been challenging for everyone I know to the varying degrees. There were times when I struggled to pick up the pencil or brush to create, nothing “happy” would come to mind… For those who don’t know – I only paint “happy” stuff). However, I believe that we wouldn’t appreciated love as much if we didn’t know what ignorance felt like, we wouldn’t value trust, if we didn’t experience betrayal, and we would take peace for granted if we didn’t witnessed war. If you look for it, you can always find light in the sea of darkness, and magic in real life… Through my art I’ve discovered that no matter what happens around me, I cannot physically paint anger and sorrow. I would rather find strength growing out of anger and hope rushing in to replace sorrow, and translate those into art.

I’d like to invite you on an emotional journey through my paintings. My hope is that it will touch your hearts and souls and will lift your spirits
