Artistic Statement:

“The theme of my paintings is to depict the invisible atmosphere of
the world created by God. As a Christian, this is often accomplished by painting nature and churches. I am particular about the expression of materiality and texture in order to express the atmosphere of the divine. Rather than realism ,I wish to be a unique expressionist.
The main inspirations for my work are nature and the places and countries I have visited in the past.”
