ARTIST STATEMENT
My Work is a Psychological Self-Knowlege, starting from the personal to the general in order to achieve a journey of communication between the soul and the mentality from which we proceed to life with its reality and all its details. This trip of the self and its appreciation comes after understanding the inner child who sits inside us with all his strength that help us to understand the pain and the conflict that takes place between concepts such as death, fear, joy, illness,...and dealing with all the feelings that are generated from the ideas in my living research which is finally based on the Self Esteem.
Understanding the ideas and the feelings they generate is a part of the process of total healing through art, by delving into the artistic work and the elements that represent the composition of lines, colors, shapes and textures. It's a sincere manner to create my own unique world which is formed of human experiences that I share with my community. It's my distinguished and exceptional way to reach my Heroic Inner Child and to show it to you.
