                          and figurative works. In my abstract work I feel ideas 
                          flow through colour o¬n paper. Different colours 
                          used indicate different pictures of life. I use various 
                          colours to explain all possible phases of life.  Figurative paintings help me give shape to ideas and 
                          be inventive and expressive while religious paintings 
                          are the source of positive energies in my life.  Painting is my meditation; my path to self discovery, 
                          I find silence in the noise of colour and form, tranquility 
                          to me is creating a picture.
