“My work talks about humanity. I create imaginary worlds that correspond to the world I live in. I observe the movement and emotion of life by taking the image and colour of the people and surroundings that I see and hear. To use to make my art and harmony, peace and love.”
I’m happy to announce that I will be selling posters of a selection of my works soon. Right now I’m in the process of choosing the works and creating the design for the poster.
The posters will be up for sale at my next exhibitions and through this website.
Anyone who would like to recieve an update can leave a message through the contact page. I’ll keep you all posted by mail and through my website!
