> STATEMENT

I think art is the most sublime thing that the human being can offer to the world.  We are all equal; however, we differ from each other on how we interpret the exterior world and how we interiorize it.  In my art, I search to reveal my inner self.  To attain this goal, when I paint I release myself from the concepts I have learnt.  I don’t let my intellectual perception intervene; but rather I just let my instincts flow through the medium and reveal the message that's working its way out of my inner self.

After some debate, I decided to name my style Musical Introspection. It was originally born as an inner rupturing with the concepts of figurative art.  Musical Introspection is a new kind of connection with the universal creative energy flowing through classical music. In essence it is an intuitive and unique process, during which my perception of the music suggests colors, and the rhythm marks defines lines. In this way I reach an intimate connection between two strong artistically expressive forces, music and painting. Through this perceptual interconnection, one can actually "see" music, and "hear" art from the soul, and experience the connection between their unions.

My paintings are not static. The viewer can relate to them, easily entering an unconscious state of meditation in which the piece's movement brings to surface deep and profound questions. Uniquely, my paintings have an energizing effect on the ambient in which they are shown, and influence the inner being of the observers, exuding sensations of bliss and rejoice.
