Philosophy
"Looking for the way of understanding the world, as our life is a course for all of us... Discovering the unlimited filters of the point of view, faces, feelings, souls, and projections of us is the blast of all the different ways we can possibly find on the limitless path we are meaning to stay on... Or bringing multiplicity in un-limitation by leave the path and even more to be there to discover..."

A Visual Journey
I was 14 when Professor Polos taught us not to seek a style that would make us different but encouraged us to learn to analyze and synthesize and let everything else evolve naturally. I still believe in this philosophy, especially now that I've finally understood among many things, why Master Gerzson, another teacher of mine, didn't really show us how to paint but taught us how to see. Embracing the diversity in the world, I acknowledge that various factors compel us to perceive things from our souls to the surface. I don't seek a style, not even today. I allow myself to see as vividly as life thrives and endeavor to portray my experiences in my own way—reflections of aspects and emotions.
​
I first learned to be a graphic designer and realized that there is a limitless number of ways to complete a graphic design. Today, it still drives me crazy to acknowledge that when I "finish" a painting, I haven't closed the journey of that artwork on the canvas. The smallest modified detail could change everything.
This is life...
