Artist Statement
“Art is creativity bursting through our souls “
When I am creating art, I don’t sweat it or labor it just comes to me naturally.
My paintings have a deeper, fuller, clearer meaning that can’t be seen at first glance. It is reflection of my life experience and positive thoughts fueled by my intuition and imagination. I do not go looking for inspiration or ideas in everyday life. I leave it to the Universe to decide what to send me.
I call my paintings” Deliveries from Universe”. Paintings may be “delivered” to me in a rough form. Then I turn on my imagination what is my workshop and reveal what is beneath the rough surface.… And the final result of my paintings is a glimpse of human life unfolding in front of our eyes.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my vision with people around the world and hopefully touch, move and inspire those who find my work interesting.
