My love and interest in art started at an early age, mainly working on portraits and landscapes in a classic form and using monochromatic shades of mainly charcoal as a medium.

With time, I felt the need to free myself from the boundaries of classic form into the more abstracted interpretation of figures and surroundings. The early paintings of this stage were abstract expressionist for the most part, relying essentially on expressing the idea in a spontaneous, subconscious and natural way, not shying from the extensive use of color and materials to convey the message behind the painting. My style evolved into my present form that mainly combines the emotional intensity of abstract expressionism with the deconstructive nature of cubism, in a minimalist expression of the figure and its relationship with its surroundings, encounters and associations. My paintings are mostly based on real moments in life, intensively sketched and studied to create an image that reflects a feeling rather than an act. I paint mainly using acrylic and oil,my canvases are usually treated with warm underlayment, with cooler colors on top, allowing some of the glow of the warmer shades to spell into the surface, probably portraying the reality of the human soul and what lies behind it.

In my work, I aim to deliver ideas and feelings that are based on real experiences and that will live and have a meaning to the world.
