ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My love for abstract art of any form, nourishes my soul daily. Be it a painting, a sculpture, or even an accidental artistic composition on the street, the colour, texture, and rhythm of my environment inspire me. It is my fascination with abstract scenes all around me that I wish to convey to my audience by eliciting those emotions from light, texture, and rhythm. Sometimes calm and quiet, sometimes happy and noisy, sometimes confused and sometimes organized. They’re all me.
