ARTIST STATEMENT
“I wish to find peace and serenity through the depiction of my characters, and to remind a world obsessed with material things of the warmth and richness of family life. In a way, I am expressing my refusal to accept things as they are, despite being aware of my inability to stop the madness around me. Perhaps I will succeed in enticing the spectator just for a moment into being part of my world.”
