Artist Statement

Expressing my feeling in imagination and sharing the expression with the world.
By example:

Nature in Motion: The nature around us is always in motion.
In a parallel experience, this can come across as benevolent and scorching

This gathering: can be experienced as a festive gathering but from another perspective as a protest.

Evolution II is inspired by the permanent evolutionary movement of our planet.
Seeing this evolution is shown in the imagination of it in this painting.

The Kite Runner is inspired by Khaled Hosseini's impressive novel.
Without words it shows the image of the different worlds and worldviews in which we live

Composition in Grey
This painting shows a merging of black and white, but adds a palette of colors almost imperceptibly.
This makes Gray warm, inspiring and a tingling search for feeling.
