Many times, I want to stop the speeding train and get off. For years, my dear friend-my imagination-would accompany me as I activate the emergency brake to bring the speeding train to a sudden halt.

In my search for the means to assist me in preserving the precious moment when the train suddenly stops, I discovered painting. During those magical breaks from movement, I create and when it is time to re-board the train, these magical creations board the train as a wanted passenger.

I combine materials- I am a freak for materials - rough with the delicate, dark with the bright, and rough with the smooth. Mixing materials intrigues me. For me the canvas is just a two-dimensional beginning to a three-dimensional end. I create using construction materials: cement, aluminum, iron, wood, stone and concrete. I prefer raw materials with rough texture and natural color, in especially concrete and its shades.

After establishing the base using construction materials, I begin creating with lines. I love drawing lines. The construction-material base embraces the line eagerly. A line drawn on concrete is timeless, like a the adhesion of man and woman. The delicate quality of the line acts in opposition to the strong construction materials as they join together in perfect harmony to create a whole. There remains no conflicts, rather we experience a perfect compliment.
