My Featured Work - Portrait Painting "Grandma"
If I have to summarize my career as an artist, I would say that the biggest achievement I’ve attained was the creation of my portrait painting “Grandma”.
"Arabesque" and Other Paintings Inspired by Literature
Looking back to my paintings inspired by literature, my Grandma remains my best creation, which was inspired by few scattered descriptions of the protagonist's peasant grandmother at various phases of her long life by Günter Grass in his fantastic novel The Tin Drum (Die Blechtrommel) - her many layers of skirts, her peeling potatoes, the heated bricks she used to keep warm, again, underneath her layers of skirts.
This painting was inspired by passages from Günter Grass's novel The Tin Drum (Die Blechtrommel).
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is presenting an "Unauthorized SFMOMA Show", which allows people to upload images of artworks to SFMOMA website, and "all works are immediately accepted, each submission automatically constituting an Unauthorized SFMOMA Solo Show on view at SFMOMA via the same website ( sfmoma.show ). Each exhibition starts when a work is submitted and ends when a new work is submitted."
A couple weeks later, I uploaded two oil paintings - my main endeavors, to be included in the upcoming catalogue.
