WHY I PAINT AND WHAT I PAINT

I was always shy about talking about what my art is really about. I wanted people to look at the pretty pictures and leave me quietly standing on the sidelines. But as I move forward on my artistic journey, I realize I can’t hide who I am if I want people to truly see my work — not just for the colour combinations or textures, but for the meaning behind them.

Ever since I was a child, I’ve been fascinated by fantasy. It wasn’t just spaceships and interstellar travel that drew me in, but the way fantasy allowed me to explore possibilities far beyond what the real world could offer. As I grew older and learned more about science, I became especially captivated by how little we actually know. The fact that dark matter accounts for about 85% of the universe’s mass? That alone made me wish I could somehow see beyond the constraints of my mortal body.

Eventually, I realized that there is a way — through art.
Art doesn’t require words, long explanations, or scientific formulas. Art, especially abstract art, is all about a feeling. And when you stand before a good painting, for just a moment, you feel a tickle in your brain — a new kind of sensation you can’t quite put into words. You might just be peering into something not entirely made for human senses, but undeniably real.

I paint intuitively, rarely looking at other images for inspiration. I look within. I search for an energy, a feeling — a glimpse into the unseen.
