About me

My Art Statement

Every single person, every animal, every plant, every living organism in the Universe is in fact a complex, fascinating piece of art. It starts being created with birth and finishes up at death, however its conception phase goes long back in time. Through the magic process of evolution, faint, sometimes seamless strokes are added here and there making each piece of art slightly different, quite divergent and totally individual. And then comes life, during which, more vibrant strokes and techniques are applied giving color, tones, hues, values and meaning.

Each person as each artwork, goes through an endless number of changes, some subtle and barely noticeable, while others more glaring and evident.

The most astonishing thing about humans is their ability to co-create their future. Not only they have the capacity to understand what they look like right now, but they can also think, plan, organize, dream and decide what they want to look like in the future.

A human canvas paints itself on the go.
