"My abstract works started summer of 2016 when I suddenly began grabbing paints, brushes and an empty canvas at home. Then I painted out of spontaneity as an outburst of my then gloomy days.

I suffered from depression and anxiety disorder for at least 10 years. I couldn't help pondering countless things about life, purpose, and existence. And I could only lean on to Faith and Art. I spent many hours painting abstracts, surreal, and drawing portraits alone. Art has always been there to help me move forward and be alive. To say that art is my hobby would be an understatement. Art is the convergence of what’s both within me and outside me. What I am now, I owe to the creative Universe and Art.

I work in various mediums including acrylic, oil, and ink. I always work in spontaneity when creating abstract and line art. It helps me be in the present and allow creativity to flow naturally.
