Focus of my work:
My artwork takes a critical view of my life journey and my inner struggle. This is my way to tell my story and to express how I really feel. The dream-like, surreal qualities of my paintings express the darker side of my life experiences and my views of mankind.
I found art to be my way out of this crazy world. I paint the world I see in my visions and my dreams. Through painting, I can visit my imaginary world to speak my mind with no regard to what others think. My work is only successful if it expressed how I felt.
Most of my subjects contain figures with dramatic expression and colors. Others describe places I visited in my imagination and dreams. I am currently focusing on expressing myself through abstract art.
