For a longtime, he’s been affiliated to many art institutions, juries and art forums. His works are in private and public collections all over the world. The empirical life traverses his sub-consciousness only to reincarnate into a Neo Art Form which challenges the past conventions of art with its own idiom and soul. These sensuously profound indulgences manifest into good aesthetics and amplify the human experience of even beyond into the far edge of the universe as serialized in his paintings on Cosmos, Ubiquitous and Aliens. His forms are bold, dynamic and captivating and, the colors transmit an out-of-this-world impact mesmerizing viewers’ hearts and minds. These are integrated with the imagery which penetrates and awakens the perceptions of our own lives in parallel to other species of nature.
