Artist Statement & Exhibitions

 

My  Art  is  narrative  impressionism,  I try to reveal feelings, to capture the artistic object.
Every artistic object affect me, so that I expand upon the objects in my imagination, and all color gives me inspiration.
The vantage provided by sentiment and longing is very important, this  is  a   journey through feelings to unknown beauties
My vibrant figurative art  strong  visual emotional narrative. I captured a dramatic moment in  time ,resulting in a
psychological portrayal of the human form placed in a ambiguous situation.
My dynamic visceral composition conveys a profound passionate message resulting in high level emotional engagement.
My complex and enigmatic work "thoughtful" has a universal vision and vibrantly challenges the viewer to concepts
beyond our normal vision.
My metaphoric subject matter as well as  the strength of my color palette and exciting tonal combination.
