Title: Flower from a string, 2015. Signed in front and dated titled and signed in the back. Size: 4x6 inches. My most frequently asked question is: Is it original? -Yes. I paint directly onto various types of blank photographic papers and canvas using water, color inks, and unconventional household chemicals and liquids of different viscosities. The movement of the liquids creates physical reactions that are instantly registered by the inks on the paper. The result are paintings characterized by sharpness, tonal gradation, depth of field, and flowing movement, resembling the work of nature. Each painting is one-of-a-kind, I do not use cameras, digital printers, or any other form of reproduction. The second most frequently asked question: Why do I offer my paintings at such an affordable price? -I am a prolific artist that paints almost every day. Therefore, I can share my paintings at a very modest price, ...or I end up buried in a sea of my own creations. I have sold thousands of paintings and I feel happy knowing that they found a home where they will be cherished for many years. My third most asked question is: How long do your paintings last? -They will last for generations if shown behind glass. Better if the glass is UV protected. I still have in my living room 2 paintings from 2004 and they look as good as decades ago. Although the paper is photographic, the amount of ink that I use to paint them by hand is far greater than the ink that the printer will use in a standard photograph, saturating the paper to the max which contributes significantly to the artwork's longevity. In my paintings on canvas I apply a coat of clear acrylic, since they are supposed to be shown without a glass in front.
