STATEMENT

"I am an artist who is obsessed with forms, lines, texture, and colours - and with freedom. I think, that's why I finally became an artist. The freedom to express myself in an universal visual language is a priceless gift, and only limited by my own imagination. I live and breathe through the process of creating - and the outcome? Well, that is what I am happy to offer to the viewer to interpret and appreciate from their own perspective.”
