I prefer to take life sunny-side up. I’m a hard-working person who enjoys jokes, food, and music.  Painting makes me happy, so my art is bright and bold, at times whimsical and at other moments contemplative. I use acrylics in most of my works; the palate includes both metallic and non-metallic paints, because I’m fascinated by  the gold-foil finish found in some medieval art pieces. However, my creations usually show a world stripped of decoration and naturalistic detail. They focus on the representation of fewer yet more meaningful elements. I call this approach “essentialist art.”
