ARTIST'S STATEMENT

My paintings are a tender social vehicle of communication that provides a subtle and provocative message to its readers.Based on the universal principal of "as above so below", I aspire to capture the energy and soul that emanates from nature and all of its sentient beings.Following the magical spiral movements of life, I endeavor to bring into critique the human and social conditions of our times.
