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.

If you have ever tried to capture some sweet childhood memories, and they haven’t been as crisp as you want them to be, you know what I mean. Those precious days with my dearest ones, hiking in the mountains of my hometown seem so far away.
But grateful for art that allows us to feel our inner emotions and connects us with our souls just by looking at it.

"Molten Sunset" is an abstract version of the very last moments of all the beautiful sunsets I have seen in my life. It's how I see sunsets and how I remember them after they're gone.
The cadmium red is really what sticks to my mind rather than anything else. The essence of the sunset if you will.

It only takes one maniacal narcissist to tear the world apart. This painting was completed with the Ukraine disaster on my mind. There's always hope if we lend our compassion.
