Artist Statement - I paint what I see and feel, using my life experiences to guide me on the canvas. Painting for me is the process in which some of my thoughts get a chance to become visible. Therefore, I try to make my work conceptual inviting one to analyze the embedded meaning in it. Influenced as a child by my father’s art works, painting for me has become a journey of self-discovery and self-expression. Borrowing from different traditions, my paintings are experimental as I strive to best represent a thought or a feeling that I am living through. Using mixed media, acrylic and oil paints in particular, I constantly try new techniques rather than remain stagnant in one place. My life’s works represent both, change in technique and subject matter. My art is a journey in which I hope to find answers to some of the life’s most difficult and universal questions.
