“It always amazes me how intelligent and interconnected this universe is. There are energies and vibes all around us and we are interacting and responding to these vibes consciously and subconsciously. They don’t control us, but they are influencing us in various ways, sometimes strongly and other times, in gentle, subtle ways. I believe that these invisible and mysterious dynamics are key to us living happy, healthy and fulfilling lives. So, through my art, I try to understand and create a snapshot of the energies and vibes I’m feeling and experiencing as they’re happening.
My art is an expression of myself and the place and things around me when I’m creating. I know that when people see my art, they may see a reflection or a complement of their own private experiences. They may even discover something they desire consciously or subconsciously. More than anything else, I think my art is an open invitation for people to explore the mysterious energies and fields of the universe around us. Just like scientists do in quantum physics or microbiology, I think we should try to know and understand this beautiful connectedness for ourselves. My paintings are just my own expression of how I see and experience the continuous flow of vibes and energies around us, which I’m always trying to understand more and more.
So, in essence, my artistic brand and vision has a lot to do with expressing and understanding the mysterious and invisible world around us as a way to understand, heal and grow into our better selves.”
