"The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity." Alberto Giacometti The quote introduced represents me as an artist and my work completely. I like to consider myself as a superficial artist. An artist who envisions what we could become and not who or where we are in our current states. My paintings are made to lift and encourage the soul. I studied Graphic Design at Hofstra University, Long Island, New York where I fell in love with the visual & computer arts. Nevertheless, the brush and canvas always remind me of how much passion I have for them. It was there I did a lot of self-inspired oils and acrylic paintings. I try to maneuver through portraits, landscapes and still-life but with the embellishments of my own attributes or creativity. I remember I had my first show at the Hofstra Art Museum with the theme being "Beyond What the Eye Can See" and it was a success. I currently have work in the Housatonic Art Museum and soon to be in the City Hall located Downtown Bridgeport in Connecticut! I am spiritual and I find great comfort and support from this source for it's my faith that takes me away from reality, when all chaos and pandemonium is going on in my life, I can just get away to a place of peaceful bliss and tranquility. Its then, in that moment I see what I could be or where I could go and how God loves us enough to design a map to get there. Our destiny should not be defined by our reality, but it should associate itself with our ability to create reality. And when you see my work, I hope it stimulates creativity for your reality.
