Most of the time I enjoy trying new things. I really like the brush strokes of the impressionists, the flow of their movements, foundry colors, expressions, and different grayscales as well as their engagement in my paintings. This gave birth to my style. I see life as a passion for sticking to what we like and the endless battles of everything else that we abhor. Art is one of the open ways of talking to people in a visual way of imagination. The Expressions, emotions, feelings, and all the untold stories behind these make people feel connected."
