ABOUT THE ARTIST

My little journey of artistic practices began in my early ages with learning how to handle a pencil like a magic wand, I was fortunate to heva creative and open minded family and I was brave enough to walk into the path of abstraction where I learned and unlearned, inhaled and exhaled and earned nothing but a little bit of mysel. Sometimes traveling the world and nature felt as good as painting, later I discover a door to step into the musical dimensions and all that added to my perception of unknown.

Sometimes... The very abstraction of nature itself has generally been in my focus and lately I have began to pay more attention to its dialogue, sometimes its connection and sometimes its possible unity with the subconscious which appears quite tangibly within the results of my spontaneous choices and in combination with the divine freedom in the behavior of nature while considering all the materials used in a painting as a composition of natural elements, makes the process not so far from the alchemy to me. I care for love in the process, I long for peace and I see my paintings as projections of my inner and outer worlds in relationship with my psyche and soul which is being physically sensible after all. 

My works are part of public and private collections in different countries
