My work is a linking bridge between the traditional approach and the new age medium. I use acrylic and /or oil to create imagery that appeal to my sense of esthetics, as a visual vocabulary. Together with the use of digital imagery the old and the new elements merge into oneness. My work is an examination of the hypocrisy inherent in society and its leaders; in search for the true meaning of justice in real life and address how all societies fall short of their highest potential. My art is an opportunity to discuss the society's fundamental flaws, particularly the violence and injustice that have become a staple of human fabric. The issues I am concerned with are the subjects of my work: wars, genocides, violence, specially against women, human trafficking, rape, domestic abuse among many other forms of Man's Inhumanity to Men.
I see my work as a body of records of ideas , thoughts and feelings. The creativity manifests itself in a continual process of events that conclude in a final destination and it's hardly an outcome. As an unknown adventure it takes place within the personal wholeness based on the development of one’s intimate thoughts feelings and possibilities at the given time. Thus artist's imagination is bound to simplicity and as a rule is in conflict with common sense. An environment free of common sense invokes the abstract qualities of the thought, thereby stimulating a uniquely energized dialogue. To me, each work is a reflection of the self in fragmented way like pieces of a puzzle subject to “solution”.
I strive not to reproduce the nature, as it may be perceived, but to speak of beauty and truth. To me the beauty is not what is comprised of visually attractive elements, but it is that whose elements are in harmony with each other and its environment. The truth is that whose order is absolute where the essence of harmony is realized.
