My Art is my journey, my passion and my meditation. When I walk the streets of my city, the lines and forms, the textures and colours merge together into an image that flashes inside my mind. It’s this fragile fleeting moment that I strive to capture on the canvas. Because painting is more than simple rendering of what we see in front of us. Art is about conveying feelings, sharing visions.

My paintings are in private collections in Canada, USA, ­Germany and Russia.
