Male Model II Print

Since I am not a good writer to tell my story I chose early in life to paint as if my paintings were the continuous pages of a book. When I was twelve years old I was exposed to cubism and one of Picasso’s earlier works stuck with me. I always questioned how it was possible that he could capture with something broken or unreal all the beauty and emotions that I was seeing or feeling at that moment. And that’s what I want to offer my audience: The freedom to explore their own imagination in my paintings. That’s why I do not neglect my developed style and technique. Quality, imagination and vision complement each other. My works present powerful political statements - from my attitude towards dictators to the effects of freedom. I synthesize every nuance of the moment, adding rapid motion to effectively move the viewer through the painting. The honesty is apparent in my paintings and the political references are timely. It is, overall, a body of work that resonates with authenticity.
