My art represents the reflection of my imagination. The worlds of dreams and fantasies that existed in my childhood are part of the direction of my art. Memories mixed with social and cultural entities are the forces directing me to engage in the creation of such complex works. At first glance they are representations of pictorial imagery but beneath the representational imagery exists a profound narrative that talks about life of the artist and humankind, in general. Personal and historical events often emerge from my subconscious and emphasize the psychological forces that preceded, contributed to, or resulted from these events and how they contributed to my personal growth.
