Born from the shadows, from arid grounds destined to wither and wilt with the wind of time, a cut out stock from the lineage of bereavement, Lost in the valley of dried bones. A sanctuary of catacombs, slime pits and quicksand, The neighbourly embrace of shame caresses my brows; etched in my thoughts are the tattooed insignia of how flawed an origin nature callously bequeathed me. Can anything good come from Nazareth! A people lowly esteemed, yet determined to sit on platforms fit for Kings. Snap out of it! The echoes of the past knocks my brain cold to not dream big. This is real life, yet I choose to dine with the fantasies of finding the Eden I crave. Fear is for the brave, for its grim taste fills up his mouth to puke out courage. I just lost my eighth life on the last try, yet Ill still squander the last till I arrive Edens shores.

Artist Statement
As an artist, I see myself as an emissary of the soul, the untapped beauties locked up within its walls, the simple yet complex nature of finding oneself and how each art piece inches me closer to that search. My goal for creating art has always been to unravel the disparities in my personality, and finding meaning in this jigsaw puzzle called life. I don just paint for fun or aesthetics, I paint as a messenger, as a lover, as a human, as a dreamer, as a child; learning a new language- the mother tongue of the human spirit; because what we are all here for is to find our individual paths and make our lives count. Painting happens to be the vocabulary my soul uses to tell its story, perhaps the world will hear me.
