Artist Statement

 

I have been studying art and designs for the past 10 years, my interest began with graphic design and print making, slowly evolving to mixed media paintings.  With each painting,  I enjoy experimenting different techniques.  My inspirations come from everyday life sceneries.

 

The piece entitled "Gabriella", was inspired by a photo of my daughter and is an example of my early work with portrait.

 

The piece entitled "Bonsai tree", is the beginning of my work on series.  I like to use series because it allows for my work to expand in any direction.

 

My work is a journey, I try to explore different themes like portrait, landscape, seascape, modern, and others. 

 

Here are a couple of citations from Degas:

  • "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things."

  • "Painting is very easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do."
    Edgar Degas (1834-1917), French Impressionist artist.
