ARTIST STATEMENT

Painting for me is a destiny.  I like very much bright colors and my subjects are often abstract flowers, landscapes, trees.  Painting, for me, is the most beautiful way to express myself in colors and shapes, and to share my most positive energy and inspiration with others.  This is my best way to make the world more beautiful and happier.
