Artist Statement
My art consists of a conscious rejection of the old fashioned artistic conventions. I delight on the spontaneity of the abstraction and the ephemeral realistic form. It has an ambiguous presence. On one hand it is ethereal with abstract effect, on the other it possesses the sublimity of romantic realism.
