ARTIST STATEMENT:

My work is color and energy. I try to interpret my feelings and emotions in order to reflect the unity of body and soul. Most of my work ends up vibrant and full of joy. I do not paint reality; I imagine impossible things or invent compositions that come from dimensions that I myself do not know. I like to call this way of painting: painting for the whole, as it unifies the spirit giving fulfillment and personal achievement.
