I love nature and all its amazing beauty. This I believe, puts me among the romantics group, but nature for me is an expression of God's ingenious mind, and as long as I live, I will capture it in a canvas and allow others to appreciate the mind of God, and the wonders of nature.
The power and reach of Painting and drawing says a lot, for it communicates and transcend our social barriers more effectively than any other means.
I truly believe that a 35,000 years old cave painting is as effective today as a child’s drawing in expressing his thoughts, inner longings, passions, and desires due to the one thing that binds us all, and that’s because we all belong to the one and only human species, and thus are all connected through a social and historical thread which binds us together as passionate beings and nature lovers.
We humans love to paint because we love express our feelings, and share our thoughts to others.
