Welcome to my artistic journey! With over a decade of experience as a visual artist, my paintings are illuminated by the rich strokes of colors in oil painting, a medium through which I weave stories, personas, emotions, details and a lot of my energies onto a canvas.

Welcome to my artistic journey! With over a decade of experience as a visual artist, my paintings are illuminated by the rich strokes of colors in oil painting, a medium through which I weave stories, personas, emotions, details and a lot of my energies onto a canvas.
My Canvas
I specialize in oil on canvas and abstract concepts.
While I’ve been trained in different mediums, I found a deep connection to the glazing technique, that uses layering. I love how it adds so many folds of connection, each adding to the story and depth of the canvas, leaving so much of the perception to the viewer.
