ARTIST STATEMENT

2004

For me, art is the path to reach the ultimate and to express longing and thirst for the Divine.

The physical and mental expansion resulting from the pursuit of ultimate beauty is painful and sublime at the same time. In this search, I focus on form, color, texture and light, which form the basic elements of the visual arts. The goal of this group of work is to express the elegance and beauty in dance and the feminine form that transcends every day experience.
