My art presents extensively on the everyday people – social status, mediocrity, human inclinations, social dispositions, attitudes, behavior, character, culture and customs. It shows transition, playfulness and exaggeration captured from simple and ordinary situations that are recurrent, prevalent and real.
Painting these subjects predominantly attribute in movements of figurative abstract, cubism, symbolism and motifs of social realism.
All my paintings are done in oil, covering the canvas with thick pastel colors. The apparent strokes caught from impasto technique, intensifies texture, movement and dances of light & shade. The figures are portrayed in a very linear and child-like effect, which is obvious to my influences from Picasso & principles of Matisse. In my way, I believe that combining these elements attain a positive outlook and absolute liveliness.
People as main subjects are interesting & mysterious and I regard it as classical figure of expression that has outlived great empires and civilizations. In art, I embrace simplicity yet my subjects are an irony. People by nature complicate things that further, corresponds to our standard & modern way of life…in a ravaging & impoverishing metropolis.
