Life is often filled with a lot of stress and we need to rest and find peace and quiet, a balance. For me, watercolor became a key to a more balanced but still colorful life. I love strong colors and contrasts and the unpredictability that watercolor gives.

I like to play with watercolors, sometimes I paint something and sometimes I let the colors decide the path... Daylight, a bunch of colors and a can of water are all I need to be happy. Of course paper too, for example Fabriano! Paper is extremely important, even though you can paint watercolors on different surfaces...

I am a hobby watercolorist and I just love to paint! I paint different motifs, test different techniques, learn from the process itself and enjoy the creation.

Sometimes everything is right, the chosen colors and technique result in a nice painting... happiness is complete, accomplished... wonderful feeling.

I paint myself happy...
