My paintings grow out of my love and appreciation of life, a gift to see, feel and interpret such reality. I deeply feel that my job as a painter is to present the beauty of the visual world in as many ways as can be imagined. I paint to show and tell the beauty of what surrounds us, be it large or small, real or in my mindscape.

 

My idea of a good painting consists of four most essential elements: good composition, values, right temperature and mood. The mood is actually the atmosphere, which translates the quality of light through the use of Color Theory. But from time to time I like to explore different techniques and knowledge to move forward and to push my limits. Oil is my favorite medium because it is rich, flexible and forgiving—like a friend.

​

Through  painting  I have found my souls’ voice, and my message is conveyed through my artwork. Life is truly a journey. We all have our milestones, turning points, joys and sorrows.  No one is alone, we are all connected. My artworks are reminders of this truth. I strive to create the sense of passage of time,  ancient textures and places of spiritual beauty so that it strikes an emotional chord of recognition in the heart of the viewer. Color and texture along with

strong or dramatic composition make my style distinct.

I like to make works that engage the viewer and promote discussion whether by their quirky nature or environmental message. I hope you enjoy these works as much as I have enjoyed making them and to bring a moment of humor into your life.
