Artist Statement:
I believe that before anything
art should bring happiness to
the viewer . Life has alot of
misery in it , so it is the
artist duty to make people
happy .

artist must have his own
unique style which I feel
should differentiate him
totally from another artist .
In my view , I would even say
a particular style is more
important than what and how
an artist paints . His style
has to be so strong that the
viewer should immedietly

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
When I first began painting , I was not affected by any artist or art school . Since I did not have any knowledge of art . Now , when I look at my art , I see that my art is similar a bit to several art schools and an art styles all in one. My art has fantasia , primitive , and eastren styles . I do not feel that I was inspired by any one artist . |
| |
| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I began painting for my own self , but then I felt that since life is so full of problems , I decided I wanted through my own art to make people happy . I also began painting for the selfish reason of wanting to relax and become calm . |
