Welcome to my spiritual colorful world of abstract and modern-figurative paintings
What inspires you?
I am inspired by the colors and shapes of nature all around, the sky, the clouds, the trees, the sea, the mountains, and i am also inspired by the human body and face gestures
Describe your creative process.
ABSTRACT: The process of an abstract painting is always an adventured journey. I start with random brush strokes, and as I proceed, I get a sense of what to do, what shapes I will create, and what other colors I will add. I work with brushes, spatulas, and sponges to create different shapes. MODERN-FIGURATIVE: I start with a realistic style and towards the end, I start to incorporate abstract elements into the background and blend them into the figure. Sometimes the abstract additions are minimal and sometimes they are more pronounced.
What are 3 words that best describe your work?

What is the most important tool when creating your work?
I work with several tools to achieve the different shapes i want to create, all are important
What is the best piece of advice you have been given?
