I paint abstract places and scenery, inpired by nature, I like to be in. I wish for my lines, stripes, and strokes to be felt. Liberated, strong, and free. And for my motifs, both hidden and visible, to tell stories about past and present times. I hope for the characters to bring metaphoric and symbolic value, subjective and objective, and reflect over current situations and historical philosophical questions. To remind about the everyday beauty of nature, love, and re-production. To remind that we all bloom differently. To remind that we all are alternately fragile and strong as steel. I wish for my paintings to fill in the little human’s voice and salute life. /C. Greko
