In making my paintings I use mainly primary colors blue, red, yellow, orange, white, and black. I combine pointillism and impasto painting styles using a tiny brush and a palette knife respectively. In a nutshell, all that I do is to drop tiny dots of different colors on my canvas as my own unique way of expressing myself. In my paintings, I share my own experience of life. Like the dots that I drop on my canvas, so also do I communicate the complexity and many different aspects that life is. I place different concepts and ideas side by side in a bit to understand them and how they affect me and others around me. My ideas are shared from the left of my canvas to the right in one long painting or in a series of two or more works depending on content.

For me, art is life and life is art. I think that my work as an artist is vital in my society as it can give direction, education, and entertainment. My art is born out of a desire to be myself. I am myself when I am free, and when I am true. This attempt to be original holds my art around the challenges that I experience in my society and also the success and joys of the moment, sometimes I go philosophical and spiritual, all in a bid to understand why we as human beings behave the way we do, and the possibility of us to evolve from this present reality or not. Finally, everything that I do starts in my mind, doing my work well gives my audience an opportunity to see the world through my eyes with the hope that through my works, they as I can become the change we need.
