Artist Statement:
My paintings are the product
of my conscious and
unconscious dreams as well as
hopes. My art is centered
around human beings and their
existence, searching for the
meaning of epic affairs such
as love, war, happiness and
suffering. Contradictions in
life such as: killing people
in the name of freedom,
destroying nature in the name
of development and prosperity,
and throwing children out of
schools in the name of
discipline fascinate me. The
human being is still largely
an enigma.
Opening a window through my
art to the other side of the
isle to reconstruct and
correct misconceptions is a
hope I struggle to achieve.
Creating a painting is a
process that takes energy,
knowledge and inspiration.
I use acrylic paint, canvas,
fabrics, photographs and other
materials to create my art.
Deciding what materials I will
use in a new piece of art is
totally planned but their
application is absolutely
random. It is always my
intention to redefine beauty
through colors, figures and
formations. My art is a quest
to find meaning in the
seemingly random events that
shape our lives. It is my
outlet in the pursuit of
embracing the essence of
life....
