I paint to express not to just illustrate. Be it the figurative subject or non-objective expression, ‘Abstract art’ techniques echoes my artistic flair the best. I primarily work with acrylics, sometimes mixed with oils and dry media on canvas. My love for Art keep me enthused, Inspiration is found through travel in time or places stimulated with culture, people, interactions, imaginations, observing nature or just in everyday things.
Enjoy these scapes that will make you travel into abstract structures which spread positivity inspire you to be bold vibrant n beautiful everyday.
