| Vita |
Art has always been my place to go since I was a kid. Continuing the journey is all I can do right now and see where it takes me.
I am particularly interested in portraying the dualities present in all human experience. Rather, each experience is comprised of conflicting opposites. Each individual additionally has her/his own unique experiences. Therefore my paintings are ambiguous and not necessarily resolvable, offering an opportunity of reflection and interpretation that may vary, depending on the viewer himself.
The figurative paintings merely reflect a subjective understanding of the human condition, and my desires to explore that further.
It is hard for me to discuss my work because I don't like the idea of influencing someone by explaining my own thoughts and opinions concerning my art. Each painting can either put you in another world, in the middle of a story or simply be the expression of my inner feelings through symbols. |
