STATEMENT 

The image that I capture in my paintings are sensations of lived moments.  I can say that my work is traces of everyday experiences.  I do not look for a certain image, I want to manifest my step as a human being, which is reflected by colors, shapes, shadows, lights and contrasts.  The paintings I make are based on reality, but the scenes on the canvas are conscious manipulations in search of a visual impact.
