I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a self taught painter & I love all forms of creative expression. At the age of 26 i painted my first abstract with acrylics on canvas and from then on I havent stopped.. From acrylics I switched to oils (on wood) and spent days/ nights and long hours researching and reproducing paintings as well as doing still lifes & portrait studies. My desire is to get the viewer's attention and extract some sort of feeling within the viewer. At this moment I am at a stage where Im producing surrealistic figurative originals usually of inwardly focused ideas and feelings, that tell a story, are an impression of a moment lived and carry a message within it. Experiences and interaction with people as well as environment play a major role in influencing my paintings....
