I believe that every artwork is a window into a world of beauty deserving of being immortalized in colour. In my
pieces, I try first and foremost to portray the natural beauty of all things, often painting in an idealized yet deeply
realistic manner. I aim to personify and show glimpses of visual perfection and aesthetic harmony, rather than
abstraction or grotesque concepts which are all too common in our era. The highest compliment to me is when someone remarks that a piece is so alive that one can smell the flowers, touch the person or the animal within. There lies the essence of my artistic approach.
