Throughout my life, I have always been fascinated by images and how the nature is represented through the camera eye. Eventually, I have drawn to Photography.

The interest was deeply cultivated when I moved to England. After several years, I have to move to Italy temporarily and that is where I turned my photography eye into experience dealing with brushes and canvases to stamp my thoughts.

The process of creating a painting is a dialogue, a moment of engagement of my inner self and a real picture. The completed paint is then tells the story. Often, it seeks a goal or a message to share.

Nature around us, ancient historical building standing in a big city or tiny village in a hidden place, has a lot to teach us. I see positivity around them. I see a positive message to share. Often, my paintings follow a photograph taken by me or someone else to fulfil my creation. Mostly it would demonstrate something similar to the real photograph.

I use Realism, or more specifically historical architecture or native captures with animals, objects and landscapes that represent the idea which conveying ideal vision to human life.
