'Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness; it trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind.

As the sun colors flowers, so does ART COLOURS LIFE. Art is a passionate journey that started at apoint not known, to me its a journey to my soul, journey that lifts my spirit, journey full of hope, art is music, music with no voices,drums,guitars,key boards, no conductors.

Art is music listened to with little or no struggles, listened to at once; Art is that music that takes you a moment in time in a particular point defined or undefined LOVE, PASSION, JOY and DESIRE DEFINE MY ART.'

What am up to now

I analyze personal feelings and inspirations directly from nature and even enjoy creative methods of achieving a result based on utilization of various materials. At every point in nature, there is some thing to see, some times I see it then paint it, and other times I paint it and then see it.

I like to feel the material and texture, to get in discussion with it, to produce sensuality in form and surface and to make the viewer curious about the beyond.

My subject matter some times resolves around women, as they are the Natural treasures we should be proud of, sadly, their rights have been trampled upon, other times I tend to paint works addressing key issues in our community and social well being like environmental change, form integration to disintergration, from discrimination to unification and from destruction to transformation
