"Painting is an opportunity to tell a lot without saying a word."

I’m an artist specializing in oil paintings. I love using gold leaf, structural paste, and pigments because they bring richness and luminosity to a painting.

The core of my work is portraits and abstractions. Sometimes I put philosophical content in them, and sometimes it is humor. My goal as an artist is to realize personal creative ideas and elicit emotion from the audience. When my paintings elicit an emotional response, I understand I successfully fulfilled the objectives.

I always use highly pigmented paints to ensure that the artwork will be an excellent long-term investment for people.

I hope you can see something in my art that can attract and inspire you as it does to me.
