My work is a contemporary statement through the perception on Inner and outer space juxtaposing with time and space of life experiences. I incorporate visual, emotional, and psychological impressions of urban tension, raw emotions and harsh realities tempered with gentle optimism and beauty seeking the combination of objective and nonobjective serves as matrix between nature and mankind above all the creative energy of life.
