Artist Statement

I practice photography using the technique of direct expressive drawing. My works convey deep emotions and inner worlds through dynamic brushstrokes, rich texture, and costly shadows. I experiment with various media to try to express these ideas through themes of a conflicting and spontaneous nature that may be contradictory. I do not classify my works to a specific artistic school. The idea and the experience are more important to me than the final product
