STATEMENT

My artwork is inspired by my deep feelings rooted in the impermanence of everything in this universe. Painting the life around me allows me to give an outlet for those feelings and emotions and transfer them to my audience. It is through my art that my soul makes sense of this universe. Art is my means of communicating to the universe and I like to see my work as my prayer and worship. 

I love experimenting with different mediums like watercolor, acrylics, gouache, Indian ink, graphite and oils. My artworks are created in a realistic style, but I try not to compromising the characteristic features and unique textures created by the medium I work with.
