At the mid of June 2012, I received an invitation to participate in an open competition for a mural project for the new Google office, in Montreal. The proposal sparked my curiosity and I responded positively. Soon after I got invited to have an introductory tour of the Google establishment and an introduction to the project. I met with the person in charge who introduced me to Google’s interior design philosophy of the working space. The particularity of the interior arrangement of Montreal’s office fascinated me. It was a stunning experience. I can only say that Google’s working environment should be an example to follow by all companies, which look for an answer how to inspire the productive performance of their employees.

I present the satirical portrait of Deleuze in the context of his philosophical writings with emphasis on his rhizome theory.

The concept: Camera Bianca: Relational Me was born as a composite of various inspirations of which the leading force was the Marcel Duchamp’s final farewell artwork titled Étant donnés (1946-1966).

Apocalipsis, is an experimental concept to exhibit various artworks, which are composed thematically together, in a form of visual disorder through which I intend to communicate to the viewer various facts concerning our contemporary realities through the pedagogy of metamorphic imagery.

Following the path of appropriated and partially modified quote from Deleuze and Guattari I am researching to … extract something I call myself. Influenced by my present studies at Concordia University I am tempted to exteriorize in visual form the creative process of my studying and researching for my own character of creative expression. Through the metaphoric visual language of color and line I explore and apprehend the process of my learning.

La Serenissima, The Most Serene Republic of Venice. It was once a significant military naval power of the Adriatic and the Northeast part of the Mediterranean Sea. The architectural beauty of Venice is as fascinating today as it has been through all her extraordinary past.

The exposition Metamorphic Impressions consists from a collection of drawings and paintings created of my artistic imaginary voyage through the surrounding me Modern realities. I have chosen to express my concerns through the images of Ovid’s “Metamorphosis.” Ovid’s mythological history of the world, in addition to other mythological and historical sources, inspires my artistic quest.

The subject of Love in our Western culture is commercially visualized as cute, sweet, beautiful, and happy.I approached the theme of Love from the other side. Through the surrealistic and satirical regard on various states of humans mind in love I wanted to reflect my own perception of the Love ups and downs as I see them.

The project, I was pursuing, had an objective to confirm my theory that the traditional curriculum of teaching drawing skills can be adopted to digital tablets. In my opinion, the traditional methods used to instruct sketching can help students to acquire faster control over digital devices such as Wacom tablets as well as others, like the iPad.

This post is going to present a collection of sketches, which I intend to execute during the entire year 2013. The gallery is going to grow successively. Every month I am going to add a new selection of drawings. This gallery is going to contain the selection of sketches I am going to do this year.

The drawings presented in this collection were chosen from many of quick made sketches of models and various persons. I always have with me a sketchbook and when possible I sketch people I see around. To draw, I use not only sanguine and watercolors, but also different markers. These sketches are the traces of time I was able to visualize during me various activities.

The series of drawings Illustrated Voyages are composed from the sketches made during my 2011 voyage to Europe. The artwork reflects my interest in direct encounter with various places and situations during my travels.

The Gallery \"Europe 2010\" contain the collection of sketches executed during my recent voyage in Italy, France and Poland. The drawings reflect my personal perception of places I had the pleasure to see and enjoy in a way an artist does.

These are drawings done during my travels. For life sketches I love to use the sanguine charcoal and watercolors. It gives a delicate touch to the drawing and a chromatic harmony to the whole composition.

Who could forget the memorable series, which in 1993, in a quarter final pitted the Quebec Nordiques against the Montreal Canadiens? At that moment, hockey frenzy reached its apex. Andre Pijet's caricatures in La Presse documented this unforgettable encounter, punctuating each moment of the drama.
