I paint forms and shapes to convey energy and spiritual condition. The colors and rhythms become the theme. The images are put together in a dreamlike sequence to reinforce the realty of metaphysical world. Forces of nature and mysterious inner life of mankind are themes that have been constant in my work. My paintings are inspired from the human life in conjunction with landscape of nature's abstract color-forms. With association of color and shapes, I strive to communicate my feelings and convey inner-personal emotions.
