“Without the ability to actualized an idea or concept, art would not exist”. My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. I do not limit myself to one medium, style, or concept. Inspiration and ideas change and so does knowledge. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extention from the past, where I’m going to. My paintings display the beauty of nature, of faith and some abstract structure. I like an idea whose form doesn’t necessarily need function, but I also like the idea whose function has to work with a form and likewise. If a viewer stops for just a moment to view and reflect on a piece I have created , then I have succeeded in my efforts.’’.
