My Work.

Usually I create painting with primary colors and the result is a very bright ones.

In my work I use more the colors red, orange and yellow. They are colors that is full of joy, youth, and optimism.

Colors is perceived as bright due to their hue.

And warm colors such as yellow, orange and red are perceived as brighter than cold colors such as blue and green.
