All started from a small photo...
Hello there! Well, a few days ago...I was fixing my things in my new studio and I found this small photo of mine!
So...That's how I started doing the series of my big-format ,oil-pastel "liquid" self portraits (back in 2005!!!) :-)
"Self portrait" , oil pastel on canvas, 160cm X 120cm, 2005

Are you a self-taught artist and have undergone schooling? I must say, I love your artstyle. I love this type of art wherein you use almost all the colors in the color wheel and still the result would be fantastic. I also like the idea of lines as I usually include lines in my artworks a lot.
@gailbelga. Hi! Thank you for the feedback. I have studied painting at the School of Fine Arts of Thessaloniki, Greece and then Artistic Research @ Konstfack University Stockholm,Sweden.
