Artist statement

My painting is the part of my life that has a bottom line of what I can possibly imagine. Imagination is a favorite pasttime for me, which used to pose certain dilemmas. Now that I have come to an understanding of the duality that we all face in every moment, I am just having fun.

Color is an amazing optical adventure and it is there that I am in love.
