About my artwork

My paintings are reflections about contemporary life...

My interest has always been in restating the validity of those ideas, which, by and large, have guided artists since the time of Polyclitus.

I believe that it is only in the application of those timeless principles that one can even begin to achieve a semblance of quality in one's work. It is continuing relevance of these ideals i mean to emphasize especially to those who have grow up of punk, graffiti and internet... !!!!

Artists I like

Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, Damien Hirst
