Having studied I did my degree
as a designer of visual communication and worked for several years
in quite a few advertising agencies.
From early childhood I was fascinated
by horses and dogs and this is why I soon learned to understand
their anatomy as well as their movements and expressions, which
is mirrored in my drawings and paintings.
For more than ten years now
I have worked as free-lance-artist and thus can offer portraits
of animals in different techniques :
- Crayon - drawings (up to size 30X40cm)
- Tempera - and Oil - paintings (cardboard
or canvas)
I draw the realistic portraits
using diverse crayons with the different colours often overlining
each other. Thus I can achieve the best effects of colours and structures.
Paintings with tempera takes
almost as much efforts as oil paintings, for which I need much more
time to work with. On the other hand the quality of tempera colours,
which are processed with water but dry fast and cover each other,
can't really be compared with that of oil colours.
I must have a very good and
realistic presentation (photo) of the animal showing the best effects
of colour and expression as well as a good overall viewto create
a good portrait of it.
