Along with 3 commissions started at the end of 2015, I’m pursuing the development of the two
series: Tea cups & Glasses. By allowing exploration on many levels - colors, details, light and
subtle elusive narrative through composition, I’ve found that these objects still hold some intriguing potential of excitement and attraction that enrich the foundations of my daily practice. All of this takes time, but this year I aim to build a consistent body of work with the two, while gradually creating some new space for the human figure.
