"About the Japanese fighting spirit, in the feminine version – portrait of a young Japanese woman."

Yamato-damashii (大和魂, "Japanese spirit") or Yamato-gokoro (大和心, "Japanese heart/mind") represents, in Japanese language, the cultural values and the qualities and characteristics of the Japanese people, especially honor and value.

In this Asian girl painting, Yamato-damashii is represented in its feminine version: the common-sense wisdom, prudent judgment, resourcefulness, intelligence, essential purity, a resolute spirit of a young Asian woman.

Decorative painting inspired by oriental themes and techniques.

What is really "Asylum"? How can it best be described?

Insanity or alienation, a scream for help, perhaps? Or, maybe all together.

Best, it can be described as the result of the plan and action of modern civilization, that draws hideous shapes, personify horror, despondency, and alienation.

Something that nobody realizes, nobody cares or we are too afraid to recognize.

This is a summer painting you can enjoy yourself within the cold winter evenings and transport yourself in the past August. In a hot, sweet, golden honey-like atmosphere, where you can feel the afternoon love, the nostalgia of the long past summer cries, the restlessness of love as the buzz of a hive.

This is an idea wrapped in a silk cocoon, the cerulean horizon, the representation of hope.

Slowly, you wend your way through this summer painting, feel the weight of all the warmth, the cozy atmosphere, the affection. Blue sky, hot orange, yellow sun, and white silk - stripes of summer twist their way like ribbons, across the vertical canvas. The motion is somewhere between waves and ravines, and each passing produces a sightly different optical illusion and temperature.

The Big Bang painting - a truly spectacular explosion: the explosion of life!

This is a truly inspirational, modern painting that represents the cosmological term, the moment approximately 13.7 billion years ago that the universe we know explosively emerged from an unimaginably hot and dense point. It represents also the revitalization of the painting of the new century.

When you look at this Big Bang painting you can observe a cosmological model, the beginning of the observable universe and its large-scale evolution. You can follow the high-density singularity evolving into the complexity that it is today.

This painting is part of a real crypto art current - a journey that hides complicated ciphers that rewards you once you've deciphered it with a "wallet full" of virtual currency.

It's a mirror to modern society, shaped by the surroundings and the influences. Ideas outside the mainstream of society, revolutionary ideas and ways to change the world, the depiction of virtual currency into a visual reality and the tumultuous ups and downs of the crypto environment.

This is a black and white abstract painting which represents the duality that exists in each of us - on the one hand, we want to know more, on the other hand we are afraid of what we can find out:

Who and what we are, how do we see everything and what is it all about?

The more questions we ask, the more we find problems. And, trying to solve them, the number of questions grows, we find that we know nothing; is it better not to seek, to remain in the silence of ignorance?

It's the action and reaction that define this painting, the dichotomy between good and bad, man and woman, curiosity and ignorance. It's like a mirror that we see ourselves into.

I have a dual relationship with the water element, I like it so much, i permanently seek it’s company and still, I’m afraid of it, of it’s power, it unsettles me, make me reach and understand my limits, my barriers, my helplessness. It gives birth of complex feelings inside me, hard to translate, brash, but also exalted, supreme; I try to understand, I try to understand it, I try to understand ….

This is one of the most representative byzantine icons, depicting Archangels Mihail and Gavril - an icon painted in Byzantine style, with original decorative elements.

Both Michael and Gabriel are created by God to strengthen the prominent link between man and the divine plan of the universe, and they are present in many Orthodox houses as a symbol of righteousness.

Archangel Michael is an outstanding figure of the Orthodox Church: he is the guardian of Paradise, the messenger that sent Abraham to sacrifice the life of his son Isaac and the one who warned Lot to flee from Sodom and Gomorrah.

Those who want to understand who they are should look for the right answer in the past, in their childhood. The cheerful games and the worry-free days, the beauty of every moment, the love, the music and the sun in our hearts have not disappeared. We can reinvigorate them, giving us some time to remember them. When life becomes unbearable and we want to be elsewhere or have been someone else, there is only one road that never fails: the way back to ourselves and to the happiest memories. For a better future, keep your living history.

During our lives, we, humans, tend to take everything too serious. We believe that we are extremely important and that we do important things. In essence, we are part of a game with a scenario often meschinous and ironic, and our role is generally influenced by the course of the game and especially by the one who makes the rules.

Look at this painting...at this contemporary art... and imagine today's modernism... that feeling you get from a plane that's taking off ar a high-speed car turning a corner. Or, the opposite: slamming the brakes in a car when driving fast. 

But, in order to feel that, you need to change something. In order to feel the life that buzzes around you, you have to change something, no matter how small.

Acceleration?

It can lead you from calmness to violence, from peace to chaos... It's a fire-breathing dragon full of motion variables. Some people are scared of it...some love it. When you see it in its full dimensions, it can be overwhelming. But it is then when you can admire it, understand it and feel it. Just as you look and take the journey to understand and feel contemporary art and its secrets.
