Artist's Quote:
My abstract pieces are meant to express movements and aspects of the modern life, as I see them.
Influenced by my architectural background, I developed a style that is structured, yet bold and expressive.
I feel that my contemporary creations also fit in very well with today's trends in interior design.
The paintings I have sold and donated are now displayed in various interiors, and have taken on lives of their own.
As each owner looks at my pieces with their own eyes, they see something other than what I created those works to be.
That is the beauty of abstract art - it lives for the viewer in their world, mirroring that person's experiences and emotions.
Art is nothing, if it is not enjoyed!
