Welcome to my artistic world, where I explore the realms of human emotions and actions through the vibrant mediums of oil color and watercolor. Drawing on my background in teaching at my Fine Arts College, I am driven by the desire to capture the essence of our existence and bring the outside world into our souls.
In my paintings, I transcend the boundaries of literal representation, focusing instead on creating pieces that feel alive, as if they could have sprung from a distant place or lived within our own hearts. I draw inspiration from the profound words of Rothko, who sought to evoke deep emotions through his artwork.
I believe that art is not a one-sided affair, but a symbiotic relationship between the artist and the viewer. My intention is to provoke thoughts, ignite imaginations, and invite viewers to be active participants in the artistic experience. A successful painting, in my eyes, is one that leaves an indelible mark on the viewer's mind and memory, shocking and stirring their thoughts, imaginations, and emotions.
To achieve this connection, I spend considerable time observing people around me, patiently waiting for that perfect expression or fleeting moment that resonates with my artistic vision. It is through these captivating instances that I can distill the raw essence of human experience onto the canvas.
When seeking inspiration, I embrace the solitude of deep observation, opening my arms to the world in my imagination. In these moments, I immerse myself in the overwhelming beauty of sensitivity, allowing it to transform into a profound pleasure. It is within this intimate communion with the night that I pick up my brush, engaging in a heartfelt conversation with the inner self that resides within each stroke of the painting.
Thank you for joining me on this artistic journey, where emotions come to life, and every brushstroke invites you to connect with your own experiences, thoughts, and expressions. May the touch of my art resonate within your soul, leaving an everlasting impression that lingers for a lifetime.
