My expressions are perhaps unconscious of the will to substitute for the principle of composition after nature , the principle of autonomous structure. Each of my paintings contains a sublime precision and capacity to individualize abstractions.  I'm driven by restless energy to depict a spectrally heightened and distorted actuality with a tendency to individualization and fragmentation and my style taking  a full expressionistic vigour. My art has an originative function in it's process and deals primarily with forms and when realized its lives its own life. I selects the visual element  to create a vital organization of form with the age demanding other virtues, like a new version to express a new dimension of consciousness in harmony, truth and fragmentary and unconsoling,  achieving the correspondence between inner necessity and expressive significance. I compose the expression of inner meaning in an intensed degree that is presented in harmonic relations of color  and color itself in a configuration that adequately expresses the inner emotion and adequately communicates it to the observer.My  visual image undergoes transformation or deformation. The character of my symbols exploits the expressive potentialities of color. A representative of my work is a geometrical division of picture distinguished not by color but by line over the parts not covered by the image then creating forms through color. The vitality of my art is not some principle of composition or some ideal of perfection but a direct expression of feeling, the form corresponding to the feeling as spontaneous as gesture, but as enduring as a rock. The result is a projection of colour of such vital intensity. I'm the creator of my creatures,  I call them out of from the unknown to be seen vividly by the world. Out of the treasury of my heart I call this being forth to existence. Having realised the need for the world to change. They were created for the world's greatest revolution.
