My interest and love of painting goes back to my childhood days and so it brought me to art school where I specialized in the study of painting. At first figurative with cubist influences with color becoming more and more the center of my interest.
Then the possibilities offered by pure abstraction of using color to express feelings, be it ideas or music, is fascinating. I also strive for a certain structure around which shapes of color develop and express movement and moods.
