With these elements, I Breath, I imagine, I conceive, I create everything with colouring and lines. My journey into the would of art and creativity has led, not only to the discovery of the chiaroscuro of light and shade, the beauty and warmth of light of colours but also to an inner tranquility - a quiet glow which I hope will act of a beacon of light to guide me on my journey in the years to come.
