Artist Statement:

My interest in art has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember � I first started painting on canvas at age 12 with a private studio. I studied there for several years. I discovered an intense talent for art and creativity within myself, and I invite you to share my passion by viewing my work in the gallery. I then devoted my time to my studies at CEGEP in Fine Arts.

Presently, I have completed my studies at Concordia University and earned my Bachelor�s of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art. My main artistic concerns have been progressively concentrating on developing an individual style grounded on the various combinations of color schemes, light, figuration, abstraction and mood, while still maintaining diversity in my artistic modes and themes.

As an image-maker in modern society, an artist has certain responsibilities. I choose to create art that shows things that are important to me, and that I want to transmit to others in my own deeply expressive way. At times I have found myself having to choose who my art is directed to: the general public, my family and friends, or those with an extensive background knowledge in the arts? An artwork is engaging to the viewer, no matter what their experience or perspective. But as an artist I feel I must continue consistently to "think outside the box", even if that box is the contemporary thought on art and philosophies in general. This inspires me to keep creating, and put aside praise or criticism of my works, that could hinder the production.

A piece of art can be as unique as the individual who interprets it - containing ideas, concepts, reactions, feelings - and a change within this framework with each sensory cognition of it. As long as there is an interaction, or even my own interaction with life through which I create, the artistic production is valid.
