Artist Statement
I started painting at a very young age since my mother taught me to paint.
For me, painting is my oxygen and my refuge in difficult times.
When I paint I feel that I am creating my own world without limits. I use abstract shapes and automatic writing which result from improvisation. Abstract art encompasses all aspects of life.
Abstract art, it is like life, since it is more important to live than to understand.
I use abstract shapes and automatic writing to express the constant flow of life, emotions and thoughts. Through painting I give myself time to observe them and reconcile with them.
