hen looking at his work, you can almost feel the movement, the energy of the piece. It stirs your soul and shakes you to the very core. Its eye catching motion and intriguing composition reel you in, leaving you lost in a world created by its maker. It is his very soul, his life’s search to capture the elusive essence of human nature that he spills onto each and every canvas.

“The energy flow from the Universe shapes our human behavior,this

is a constant dynamic stream of forces flowing to an incredible power.

My aim is to reveal these elements throughout my work,with symbolic interpretations expressing this architecture of the space with lines/curves and color shapes, and thus the interpretation is the basis of the physical and metaphysical human cycles, the sub consciousness of life towards the Universe.

I define this as Architecture of the Universe�
