In my paintings I try
to capture the feel of
the landscape,
concentrating on the
contrasts between the
light and shadows. I
like to use the
impressionistic style
of short brush strokes
and lots of color.
I love plein air
painting as well as in -
studio, actually I just
love to paint.
I try to show the
beauty of the world
around us, and use the
light as my focal
point.
