Once I devoted my
entire life to art,
A fundamental aspect of my artist philosophy is
to use my talent as a means of giving back to the community.
While I am wildly passionate about my painting,
relishing the fact that I was born to be an artist, I readily accept a title
of an artist-entrepreneur, not hiding the fact that my art also can and
should be viewed as a worthy investment.
While I choose not to tie myself to a
particular artistic current or movement, I view my works from great artists
trough the history , elements of inspiration and influence.
In this continuous research and study
I am trying to achieve a dose of harmony .My hope is that my artistic
expression transcends and bridges the balance between life’s constant
dualities.
One could say that I have been painting all my life on the inside and I
eventually reached a point where it became essential for me to align with my
true self and proclaim my voice as an artist.
I believe that the highest form of art is the
representation of the human figure. As a traditional painter and , I
consider sound draftsmanship and a solid knowledge of human anatomy
essential for the successful execution of my work. Many collectors around
the world knowledge my passion and talent on my art shows . When customers
viewing my work in person they can’t help but to be drawn into the scenes. I
try to painting as much vibrate with the poetry of light and subtle color
variations.
I sold hundreds of original paintings to buyers
, collectors and famous celebrities around the world since early 1985 in a
Usa .My artwork is a part of collections in countries such as the United
States,Caribbean Islands -USVI - St Marteen- Belgium, Guam, Australia,
France, Germany , Italy and India among others.
One could say that I have been painting all my
life on the inside and I eventually reached a point where it became
essential for me to align with my true self and proclaim my voice as an
artist.
