Artist Statement:

“I would like to present a series of abstract paintings that portrait my spiritual experiences and my personal transformation through the years. My work attempts to capture the depth within spirituality in relation to the world. It is about the connection between silence and mindfulness, which both have transformed my life.

I have always been a seeker. A seeker for truth and knowledge and yet living with a purpose. Questions such as “Why am I here?” and “Who am I?” have been crucial to my growth and work. At the same time, learning how to unveil the beauty and abundance of this world has been a part of this journey.”
