smoker Painting

I am a freelance figurative artist, inspired by the environment in which I live, plus my attitude to this one. Against the background of global challenges, it is necessary to review existing views and create new ones. Human thinking reaches infinity, our orientation is on the future and we are always waiting for something. We often forget that we live, breathe and think in the present. The existing ones remain neglected. The main source of my inspiration is the reality in which I live, seen and experienced in it. Everyday scenes that we always see are so familiar and usual that we no longer pay attention, we are no longer interested, we are no longer worried. It is in this ordinary and banal everyday life that I find unusual and noteworthy. I take one or more shots of an ordinary scene as working material and create a new image based on reality. By giving specialness to this image, it takes it to a higher quality as if nothing else important is happening anywhere else. The image created by assigning superimportance is already attractive, interesting and acquires a new life. Its specialness is determined by its momentaryness, because it exists only here in this moment. The name "Here and Now" emphasizes that everything is happening now, that here is the strict present, and this moment is so intense that the past can no longer interfere with it, and there is no need for the future. Here is the most important current current situation, which is reflected in my works
