ARTIST STATEMENT
I am an artist and my love for art is limitless. I specialize in painting portraits, abstract, landscapes. Painting is my passion and I started drawing when I was six years old. Ever since making art has been a core part of my existence. It's always thrilling to experience the moment a painting takes on a life of its own on the canvas surface through the amalgamation of colours, tones, balance, harmony, and rhythm and it is transformed into life. I feel I've been blessed with a special gift and it's incredibly satisfying to know that I can use my talent to bring joy into the lives of others and put smiles on their faces. I strive to meld the physical and spiritual characteristics of each subject I paint into the most telling representation possible. Every subject I paint provides me with the opportunity to create a work of art that exhibits both beauty and timelessness.I continuously strive to reach the highest artistic plateaus in order to best achieve my goal and it's exciting to consider the possibility that one day my painting may become a cherished endowment, providing deep meaning for many generations to come.
