Artist statement: The stories in most of my paintings were from my childhood memories and a recollections of recent event in life. An art piece that encourage us to dream and refresh our memories, to reconnect with past and experience the magical feeling of our own fancy imagination and brings you into alluring wonderland without boundaries. Movies, series and music are frequent sources of my inspirations. Exploring in different kinds of medium allows me to express most of my ideas.
