Artist Statement

I use mixed media to portray a world in which I am free to express myself through the use of color, lines, texture and light. I paint with the soul of a citizen of the world, having been exposed to different cultures and people. From an early age I felt the urge to represent on paper or canvas both my external and interior world, a passion which has been like an everlasting flame. I am a lifelong learner and I believe in knowledge as a means to freedom, indeed my artistic journey has helped me break free of many binding chains. I consider creating art an act of freedom.
