Artist Statement:
I feel that my latest progress in this past year has been related to my internal process, For the last 20 years I been searching inside me, in therapist I even became a monk for two years in a Vipassana meditation center a few years ago! I been searching in myself! So, for me the use of metaphors in language and combined with meditation have given me the guideline for my own inspiration. In sum my creative path is the result of the inner search physically and intellectually combined with the peaceful sense of the meditation for me to see the images that I paint!
