The artist, who also took place in prominent national written and visual media with his exhibitions, is known for his oil and acrylic paintings as well as series on various themes he created with his unique technique. | Artist Statement: He is always seeking a new way of contemporary art and he continues to create different styles of artworks. For him everything starts with dreaming and he believes that the creativity is innate. He reflects the world around him on his drawings and paintings by reshaping it with his imagination. Creation starts with a shape or image appearing in his mind. Sometimes an entire image appears in his mind, but sometimes he follows his instincts without knowing what will be created in the end. Sometimes his artworks have a discourse, sometimes just let you feel it by yourselves. He’s dedicated to affect people and make them happy, surprised and excited by his art. He loves drawing and painting abstract, colourful shapes and patterns on many kinds of themes. Tiwox creates themed works with lines. Works starting with only one line become increasingly complex, articulated, so they are transformed into a shape. He creates various themes with his style. He has an effort to make either colorful or dark aesthetic presentations in his works.
