Artist Statement

 

My artwork is an expression of my point of view. Most often, to express my point I have to use more than one medium which I find extremely liberating. This also keeps me motivated and challenged at the same time. It's also a great opportunity to learn something new and refine my technique. I truly believe that just like any other profession and artist must learn throughout one’s practice. 

 

In my creative process, I do a lot of walking around towns and cities that I visit and/or live in and take lots of pictures. Then I deconstruct it down to its bones and focus only on the parts that interest me and then find a way to express that vision.

 

This series is called #walkingthestreets
