Philosophy
"Creating beautiful artwork is very rewarding to me personally
and when others enjoy my work it is that much more gratifying.
I love the fact that there are no hard and fast rules in art:
the artist is free to create a new world on the canvas using
only his imagination and the medium.
"When I visit a good art museum, I leave with a sense of renewal
and of the boundless possibilities in life and I hope to paint pieces
that evoke similar, positive feelings for people." |
