Bio= Artist STATEMENT

Once I devotad my entire life to art ,
A fundamental aspect of my artist philosophy is to use my talent as a means of giving back to the community.

While I am wildly passionate about my painting, relishing the fact that I was born to be an artist, I readily accept a title of an artist-entrepreneur, not hiding the fact that my art also can and should be viewed as a worthy investment.

While I choose not to tie myself to a particular artistic current or movement, I view my works from great artists trough the history , elements of inspiration and influence.

In this continuous research and study

I am trying to achieve a dose of harmony .My hope is that my artistic expression transcends and bridges the balance between life’s constant dualities.
One could say that I have been painting all my life on the inside and I eventually reached a point where it became essential for me to align with my true self and proclaim my voice as an artist.

I believe that the highest form of art is the representation of the human figure. As a traditional painter and , I consider sound draftsmanship and a solid knowledge of human anatomy essential for the successful execution of my work. Many collectors around the world knowledge my passion and talent on my art shows . When customers viewing my work in person they can’t help but to be drawn into the scenes. I try to painting as much vibrate with the poetry of light and subtle color variations.

I sold hundreds of original paintings to buyers , collectors and famous celebrities around the world since early 1985 in a Usa .My artwork is a part of collections in countries such as the United States,Caribbean Islands -USVI - St Marteen- Belgium, Guam, Australia, France, Germany , Italy and India among others.

One could say that I have been painting all my life on the inside and I eventually reached a point where it became essential for me to align with my true self and proclaim my voice as an artist.
