STATEMENT

As an artist, I am deeply drawn into my aesthetic utopia. Art fosters creativity which stimulates my imagination, and is as paramount as food and water. Art is a uniquely fascinating discipline that arouses my awareness, perception,emotional satisfaction and it increases my appreciation. Artistically, I am seriously inspired and motivated by change, color,fashion, nature and the abstract as well as realism. Consequently, I allow my hands to portray whatever my mind envisions. Professionally and personall, art is utmost special and inevitably a significant factor in my life.
