Working as a curator and talking to visitors at the exhibitions made me understand the gap that exists between the artist and the viewer.

So I started to write a few words about my emotions while painting and offer the short write up as a key together with the image hoping to open the mind of art interested viewers.

‘I try no matter how we dance we fly we forget’

My work is an exploration of the abstract, with like dance strokes and the vibrations of color.

Light, movement, nature, thoughts and new spirituality with scientific grounding are essential to my work.

I aim to pull the viewer into the canvas using images, colors and words, and enable him to see the beauty of this world and open his mind.
