Disrupted Realism
 

If I had to label myself, I would say that I am a nature painter using an abstract approach to accentuate the underlying mystery of life. Realism disrupted by movement, light, visual disturbances and thoughts, fuels my work.   
At times I incorporate fragments of my poetry, or words from dreams that can be a possible reference to the ancient mind. 
My goal is always to lead the viewer, and myself, to a new place.  

 
His mind was too full of reality.
