Frequently Asked Questions

Are your works original?

Many artists would argue that no artwork is completely original, and that, in fact, there is no originality, only authenticity. However, even if I get inspired by many artists and themes and I admire many styles, my artworks do not copy anyone. They are all done by myself, having as a point of departure my imagination. They are hand painted, using quality archival paints and materials. I create my own sources for the paintings - either digital or as a sketch. Sometimes I use no source and I just go with the flow. I do however take various photos as reference, to make sure that the elements I want to represent are correctly done.
