Welcome to Mysterious Medieval World
Painting the Spirit of Ancient Cities
​
The main theme of my paintings is medieval cities - amazing and magical world of antiquity, full of mystery, charm and legends. Their narrow streets lead to the mist of time.
Sometimes they reveal their secrets and share with us incredible stories of their past...
For my paintings I use deep colors, free style, and mixture of reality, my imagination and hints of fairy-tales...
Two Palettes
I was born in Tallinn (Estonia), the fabulous medieval city on Baltic Sea. I was surrounded by ancient fortresses, cosy narrow streets, mysterious old buildings, and gothic churches. It seemed, that fairy-tales and ghosts were still living in the Old Tallinn...
I fell in love with Australia, the beautiful land, which inspired me to create and find new ideas and experiments.
But Tallinn, my hometown, and other parts of medieval Europe have always lived in my heart…
​
Speaking in the language of colors, there are two main palettes in my life. My world today is the bright colors of the magnificent Australian nature, filled with the chirping of birds and the delightful smells of flowers. My past world is a world of slight nostalgic melancholy, with foggy twilight, inky evenings, dim lanterns, copper weathervanes, and green moss on old walls.
In my paintings, I combine these two palettes, enjoying the present, but remembering the past…
