Painting is my passion. I have always loved painting since I was very young. I think the process of art creation helps my inner perception grows. When I paint, I use colors freely, both in a traditional and innovative ways. Usually when I paint, I get a feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction during the process and at the end I want to transmit that same feeling to whoever is looking at my painting.
