Artist Statement:
As far as I remember, I have
always been indulging in some
kind of an artistic activity,
even as a little kid. I
started by drawing little
birds on the walls in my
parents bathroom, which wasn't
as appreciated as I'd hoped.
While I was hoping I could
make a living off my art, the
art school I wanted to enter
at 18 returned my portfolio
with the comment that my
painting/drawing was too
realistic and that in these
times where photography was
available, I didn't have
anything "interesting" to
offer the art world. Even so,
I never gave up art
completely. Most of my work
was done in black and white.
More recently, I tried for the
first time to work with
acrylics, under the influence
of my friend the painter
SkyHawk. I was surprised to
find out that using color was
not as hard as I expected. As
a result I have produced many
portraits of indigenous
people, which allowed me to
explore all the possibilities
of the color palette.
