Artist’s Statement

As an experienced visual artist and art instructor I’m constantly researching new ideas andtechniques, which enables me to enhance my creativity and to keep away from being dull and repetitive. I try to combine what I have learnt in the past with the new vision I have for my future
projects.

I believe creative artists always thinks outside the box and, although they should have theirsignature style, we should not limit ourselves to one specific method. I always try to push myself to explore new methods and new ideas. Artists live in a fascinating world where everything they see around them could be interpreted Into a potential great new painting.

I always work hard to develop and create paintings that speak to me and the viewers at the same time, if a viewer enjoys and connects with a painting which I have created, then I consider that I have succeeded in my work.

Improving my art and making it more interesting is always a welcome challenge that I lookforward to every time I start a new idea from sketchbook to canvas.
