My work is a contemporary statement through the perception of Inner and outer space juxtaposing with time and space of life experiences. I incorporate visual, emotional, and psychological impressions of urban tension, raw emotions, and harsh realities tempered with gentle optimism and beauty seeking the combination of objective and nonobjective serves as a matrix between nature and mankind above all the creative energy of life.
