Artist's Statement:
Art is a manifestation of love. We love the nature around us and the people we share our world with. Art is an international language that convey messages to the world reflecting culture,
history and civilization to make known, unify, bring together, care for and show compassion and kind feelings toward all.
Through arts, we express inner feelings and thoughts.
We
often use the expressions "the art of listening, the art of
teaching, the art of communication, and the art of writing -
even the art of
healing". When we really love what we do, we
do it whole-souled and become professionals at it. It can
become an art to us. Art has taught me that there is
always
light somewhere, even when things may seem dark. In my
paintings, I focus
on the importance of light along with the
shadows that complement its beautiful
counterpart.
By using different subtle tones and applying many fine layers |
 |
to create depth and soft contrast, I emphasize perspective and composition. Through painting,
I've learned that what we see, for the first time, is not always or exactly what
we initially perceive to be there. Having a second and a third look at subjects
or matters can reveal more depth, value and beauty to what we thought was there
the first time.
Having said that, realizing this is what |

led me to extend |
the realism style.
Realizing this fact is what has led me to extend the realism style.
My experiences travelling to different countries, where I've
learned about different cultures, has enabled me to widen my
perspective on life and become easily intimate with the qualities
of our natural world and the people it nourishes. In addition,
I find that there is an infinite room for growth and development
in my artwork and this is what will inspire me to go on reaching
new levels of depth, beauty and diversity in my realism oil
paintings.
I am pleased to display my artwork on this online Art Gallery and I welcome your comments and questions.
