I was born into an artist’s family. Art was an innate essence in my blood that I have come to love passionately as I recognized it in myself with years of creative work and emotional journey. For me my art has two dimensions, one is inside of me – vibrant, ever moving and evolving, dynamic formations of cognitive and spiritual content, the second is what one sees on canvas once I am ready to reflect the first – the internal. But what is it the canvas bares? Life, light, spirit, love, and micro cosmos.
I am selfless in what I do for I do not create for myself or despite myself. I know it has a purpose beyond me or what I can understand. But I do know this - Art is what I am, who I am and all I am. With no art in me I seize to exist. Art is self-expression, individuality and everlasting search for form.
