> STATEMENT

 

nya,s work  is established on three dimensions, faith, vision and purpose.

 nya,s  work expresses the courage, language and intensity needed to overcome our limitations and soar to new horizons. It circles around the mystery of surrender in a world that baptizes selfishness and greed. in his work,  you sense a deep yearning, a dire longing for ascension imbedded within every human being.  There is a profound feeling of serenity, the joy and the rhythm of consummating with purpose, "when one has found his supreme mission in life and is set free from the prison of fear and ego".

 nya,s work also speaks the discipline, clarity and integrity that true surrender embodies. As you feast on his colors, there is a strong sense of commitment, passion and zeal oozing from each piece.

 nya's use of organic materials in most of his work create compositions that are fresh, powerful, immediate and yet possess a finesse and restraint that can only be concluded as phenomenal. This is more evident in  his larger works, where one can actually feel him/herself being sucked in by the colors, yet not as an invader, but a welcome guest.

 

The shear power and presence of his work rest on a deeper, more significant formal armature and an aura of spiritual connectedness that emanates throughout his entire body of work. In this age of indifference, it is rare and therefore, an honor to stand in front of such magnificent work. A collection of this apex and quality renders accolades of the highest form.
