Statement of the Artist

"To write a clear, accurate, and concise description of my art is extremely difficult, as difficult as describing myself. First of all, I have faith in the Creator. That magical word “faith” that represents all the positive energy of the Universe is present in every one of my paintings. I think that religion, ancient traditions, philosophy and quantum physics are all different ways that lead us to the ultimate truth . Every human being and the world surrounding us is interconnected. I believe all human beings need a greater tolerance of one another. I celebrate the mixtures of all the different types of bloods that I have in me. I celebrate the different cultures, people and countries that shape me. I thank the creator for that. I think Dumas’ expression “all for one and one for all” summarizes our relative reality.

My work is more than subjective; it is symbolic. My paintings express my soul, and all the aspects of my unique world that are impossible to code into words.

Every one of my paintings has its own life and history. They represent all the events of the past, present and future of me, my family, my friends, people, races, countries, the earth, and the universe. They represent all the challenges that we as human beings are to endure. We are here for a purpose, and somewhere deep inside, everyone knows it. After a big dispute, we come to realize that harmony is the only way to true understanding, acceptance and peace. The search for equilibrium is the secret.

We are more than bodies. We are the reflections of timeless, great souls that live beneath heaven. All of whom have big dreams: dreams of liberty, peace and happiness."
