SURREAL ARTIST
Surreal is not what I paint—it is how I see
My spirituality coupled with my curiosity about Easter beliefs, mysticism, and my fascination with outer space, laid the foundation for my true belief in Surreal art.
From a young age I was drawn not only to what could be seen, but to what was invisible—those unseen energies that guise beneath the surface of life. The mysteries of existence have always stirred something in me, the question of why I dream. Each painting reflects a being or energy that casts its shadow or light into my dreams. Some appear as familiar faces, others as cosmic messengers or fragments of thought in imagined worlds.
Every painting begins as an impulse, then becomes a journey of self-expression. Guided by my inner self. I find freedom in the act of creation. The Surrealist cause, in art as in life, represents the pursuit of freedom—imagination without restraint dissolving the boundaries between dream and reality. To paint the invisible is to reveal what has always been there.
Within every human being lies an infinite universe waiting to be revealed.
