A few words about your artistic journey

Through my paintings, I fuse figurative with abstracted backgrounds in the brilliancy of colors. Because colors play a significant role in the way we see and perceive things - I explore and dive deeper beneath the normal primary colors as well as seek to broaden the conversation around children representation.
