ARTISTIC APPROACH

In my artistic journey, I have drawn immense inspiration from the profound teachings of Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov, whose spiritual wisdom has instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature’s beauty, cultivated through the practice of meditation.

As I immerse myself in the natural world, I observe the intricate shapes and nuanced hues of the setting sun and the vast expanse of the ocean, allowing nature’s perspective to inform and enrich my artistic vision.

Indeed, nature is a profound source of inspiration, offering a canvas upon which both real and imagined symbolism converge in my works, blending the realms of abstract and figurative expression.

My choice of acrylics as a medium reflects my affinity for this delicate balance, infusing my creations with luminosity and boundless creativity. Within each brushstroke lies a palpable sense of happiness, life, energy, and inner peace—a testament to the transformative power of art.

For me, the interplay between the abstract and the figurative represents a journey of exploration—a sacred school where each individual brings their unique visual instrument to explore the captivating beauty of colors, shapes, and perspective. It is through this harmonious union that I strive to express the essence of each work in its own distinct way.

ARTISTIC DECLARATION

In my artistic declaration, I unveil the profound essence of paintings as portals to a virtual realm brimming with both real and imagined splendors.

My passion for acrylics runs deep, as they serve as the conduit through which the essence of my art comes to life. Every brushstroke, every line, every gesture contributes to the final enchantment of the canvas, imbuing it with a magical allure that captivates the senses.

Within my works, there exists a deliberate intention—a purposeful exploration of color and form that transcends mere coincidence. Each carefully chosen hue holds significance, creating a language that speaks volumes on both an artistic and spiritual level.

Contemplation lies at the heart of my creations, weaving together elements of reality and imagination carved with emotion and love. Through my art, I invite viewers to embark on a journey of introspection, where every stroke is imbued with meaning, and every canvas becomes a vessel for profound expression.
