"Artists have often influenced each other, and I believe the most notable aspect in creating a Painting is when the Artist can reveal in each brush mark the play of Light, Values of Color, Form , Space and Composition together."
Nevertheless, I have exhibited in several cities in the East Coast of United States, along with exhibitions in the Chelsea District of Manhattan New York.

Personal Statement
"My interest in art as a love and passion during its earlier stages was inspired by the Impressionists. Moreover, I am always intrigued to discover new ideas in the contemporary domain of Art. The creating of Paintings has always been my dominant side compared to other mediums as ceramics and sculpture or other Art forms; my inspirations also can be seen in influential works by the obsolete styles of Willem de Kooning, Chuck Close, Lucian Freud, the chaotic linear brush strokes of Jackson Pollock, and the unexpected bold paintings of Pablo Picasso.
