The artist selects models from his circle of friends and acquaintances. These are representatives of various environments. Psychological portraits painted in a realistic way focus on faithful representation of the face and hands – the main mirror of a person’s interior. The nudity of the portrayed people says much more about the spirituality of the portrayed than about their physicality.
