Two of my great passions are art and cinema.

The visual image is what motivates me in life! It’s my bread and butter. 

I take art as a lifetime antibiotic! and when I create the story of my work, I transform it into a local scene and I put the characters in a framework to narrate stories and scenes of love, war, nostalgia, meditation, fears, dreams, anxiety and complicated relationships. 

Most frameworks describe those old homes inside each one of us. The childhood homes which have both cheerful and dark times. The lost homes that live in our souls. 

I always focus on human in the first place because he has all those multiple dimensions affected by everything around him. 

When I innovate a little story inside the painting, there is always this excessively sentimental yearning to the past.

A movie is a fascinating world from the past reflecting the flaws of the present. And this is where I got inspired by the sarcastic school and the black comedy. 

While painting, I create a fantasy world that dominates my mind and lives with it in the construction and demolition cycle. This is how I am attached to canvas and acrylic colors which gives me the flexibility to paraphrase the scene. 

Art is like a solo game where I play with the characters, master the rules, and of course, I always win!
