Artist Statement:
Painting, to me, is a unique
experience. Each work is a
surprise and has its own

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I feel that only as an artist I do not suffocate. I’ve always tried to live art through other people. I remember trying to promote friend’s work, being a volunteer in an art foundation in my home town. Since I’ve always been self conscious I believed I was never prepared to be an artist, for I had no former schooling. Only through so many rerouted roads I found myself in touch with my real bliss. I started to feel confident in showing my sketches and felt I was touching my soul as well others. I realized I’ve always been an artist, a frustrated one, in the past, for had not being able to develop my soul through my paintings. Just like a bird that can’t fly, but still a bird. So…I decided to break the cage of stereotypes and bias and plunge into my soul. Decided to loss the fear of not being accepted first by accepting myself. In 1989 was a real groundbreaking for me. I was chosen by a local Museum in my home town to represent rising new talents. But I was still afraid. Only after years suffocating in fields that were not my element I realized I had to follow my bliss.
