Artist Statement
Being a mixed media visual artist, an eye surgeon, and a multicultural mystic, I explore both existential personal questions, and more urgent collective issues such as ecological collapse, and polarization.
My creative process anchors in awareness, of the world and myself.
I engage in sketching, cutting, gluing, stitching, but predominantly painting with acrylic and oil, in expressive and abstract styles.
In a silent dialogue with the canvas I translate emotions and physicality into the medium of colors and textures, painting a journey beyond concepts and references.
My works range from expansive pieces characterized by broad, gestural brushstrokes that resonate with calligraphy, to more intricate and multilayered works that unveil a process of exploration.
My art aspires to serve as an unflinching visual portrayal of the world, inviting viewers to dream of a better future.
