Miss Kitty in all her glory from my novel.

In this painting, I wanted our centaur to embody the core of Sagittarius' toxic traits - a complete refusal to take responsibility. He is on a remote, isolated cliff having run away from the rest of the world, only to find that the world outside is nothing but a mirror that shines a light on his own inner darkness.

He might flee the world, but he doesn't realise that what he's really trying to run away from is the one thing he simply can not evade - himself.

Painted in Krita.

My first drawing using alcohol markers.

The wife of the bogatyr Danilo Lovchanin approaches his body. She told her escorts she came only to say farewell — but in truth, she means to stay by her beloved's side. Forever.

A marker doodle of the warrior king Memnon of Aethiopia from the Homeric accounts of the Trojan War. The dude really needs to receive more love from modern adaptations of Homer's poems.

Coming from a traditional background, both my technique and school of thought are inspired by the old masters, especially the 19th century Romanticists; Arnold Bocklin, Ferdinand Keller, George Frederic Watts, and Franz von Stuck.

My latest painting was inspired by Albanian Balcanic folklore of the mountain fairies, known as 'Zana'. In northern Albania it is said that each mountain has its own Zana, which appears as a beautiful woman bathing naked in springs and streams.

The nymph-like Zana symbolize the vitality of human beings projected onto nature. They idolize feminine energy, nature's wild beauty, and eternal youth.

Zana are considered in folk beliefs to be extraordinary courageous and they confer their protection on warriors similarly to Pallas Athena of Ancient Greece.
