ART STATEMENT “Life is a pure flame and we live by an invisible sun within us.” Sir Thomas Browne Ever since I can remember, I have given importance to two things in my life: internal seeking and art. My works of art are concrete and essential approximations of my own inner and outer experiences. They are simple; they reflect me. I have based my work on the flower of life and Metatron’s Cube. Geometric Abstraction allows me to convey deeper thoughts to my audience as a divine human gift. My art is a strong response to the chaotic world around us. Exploring the elements of geometric shapes, light, and color in the combination, I try to bring about harmony, unity, and balance. I would like to reduce my artistic vocabulary to dots, lines, and shades of white. My biggest challenge is to simplify my art expression.
