In the beginning I used traditional methods: oil - colour combined with egg - tempera on prepared wooden panels according to Byzantine and Renaissance techniques.
Then, after getting acquainted with the possibilities of the Computer I discovered a - new to me - vehicle for my expression needs.
Combining traditional techniques together with various image and video processing computer programs I make till this very moment, images and audiovisual forms which I use to call: Omnimedial Images.

I do see myself not so much as a traditional painter but more as a storyteller.
Although I am –continuously - improving my techniques, I use them only as a writing medium.
Same way as a music composer I try to achieve a more universal language.
With an alphabet of cultural memories, quotations of the Past, Signs of our Everyday Reality I try to build up mirrors in which someone could face The Human Condition. Reflections that might revive or invigorate - shared to be - knowledge and values of our society.

For the viewer who does not desire this, it must always be an aesthetically satisfactory image.
After all, I believe that:
Art is nothing more than a gift, which enables us to see something beyond the Reason.
