I approach painting with a simple philosophy: a successful piece of art is one that allows viewers to peek into my world of imagination and artistic aspirations. My exhibitions represent the theme of human life. My artworks combine trompe l’oiel and classical painting techniques with surreal settings of pears to express messages of revitalization and aspiration.

My pear paintings depict the abstract form of the human body. The pears are presented as characters rather than objects. Each individual pear has its own distinctive shape, yet all pears possess the same qualities and characteristics of milky smooth surfaces and off-white innards. Likewise, all human beings exhibit a genuine heart and soul on the inside, despite different outer appearances. I choose subjects that signify the realistic aspect of our lives and weave them into a surreal setting. I put them together in a way that mirrors the mysteries of intertwining human imaginations and physical manifestations. This theme has extended into consideration of human shortcomings, connection to reality, as well as issues of mortality and what is left behind.

Through my paintings, I wish to create an atmosphere of humor, fantasy, mystery, and elements of human conditions. Also, I transform everyday experiences into visual stimulation as a form of communication, to pose questions and seek answers. “Everything we see hides another thing; we always want to see what is hidden by what we see.” - Rene’ Magritte
