Artists Statement .
Creative artist are known to be very sensitive members of their society. Sometimes their vision of the future torment them and they give expression to their feelings.
In conceiving these ideas I make an effort to evoke a spontaneity of expression through an eloquence of line and shapes. I strive for rhythms created through repetition and calculated interchange which helps to achieve a well orchestrated interplay of forms and space.
Lastly, my drawings and paintings are all expressionistic in nature because I try as much as possible to incorporate spontaneity and lyricism in my works.
As an abstract expressionist artist, I believe in freedom of expression with honesty of purpose.
