popular contemporary and historical imagery, blended with fantasy, proffer a path of extensive perennial inspiration of my creative work. By juxtaposing diverse pictorial elements from global sources, newly forged and deeper dimensions of aesthetic and cultural perception are revealed. Here, canvas and paper are not mere surfaces. They are stages upon which theatre takes place; each a stage where drama is visually enacted, is painted. Myraid images, in essence, are metaphorically transformed characters. Whether conscious or sub-concious, the worldly experience becomes an integral part of the actual metamorphosis, rendering a new meaning and depth.
