About The Artist

Impression plays an important role in the mode of how we perceive the things around us. Through the years, I have absorbed, reflected and explored many. My style revolve around impressionism but also moving towards realism. My favorite subjects are figures, florals, ducks, swans and lately the Japanese kois.
