Artist's Statement

"After college I started to travel to many foreign countries.  The images I saw made deep impressions in my experiences.  I soon realized that I wanted to express these experiences, through drawing and painting.  I visited museums, markets, and other places where people gather so that I could draw.  I also attended a private Art Academy in Amsterdam.  I began to exhibit after finishing the Academy.  Searching and creating innovations in visual art today is quite a challenge, since so much has already been done.  Can figurative art today be innovative and enrich?  I believe it can.  I'm passionate about discovering new ways of blending life with art."
