The Artist's Statement regarding his work:

“The Realm of Visual Poetry”

“Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.”
- Leonardo da Vinci

Everything that surrounds me becomes
the source of the ideas forthe paintings that I do.
White canvas is a veiled painting.
I remove the veil, so you can face the realm of ideas,
where the reality is changing into
the lyric theatre,
Where all objects and personages are involved in
a silent dialog of mythical existence,
Where the harmony of color and form is calling
to praise the Beauty.
