Paintings 2018

In this gallery, I present an art that is pleasing for the eye, and yet plunges the depths of the psyche, renewing perennial themes with the nuances of a modern experience.

In the process of engaging with the my imagination and the universal myths of world cultures, I intend to emphasize the value of life and living as worthy of contemplation, beauty and depth.
