88 lines in 30 Seconds.



One of the questions I have been oftened asked is "How do you describe your art?"  This is quite a difficult question to answer unless you have a few days to view all my art; This can also be limiting specially if the artist works on diverse mediums and explores non traditional tools. I created this short slideshow which samples a small portion of my original works from 2012 to 2014. They were done in oil, acrylic, pastel, pen and ink, watercolor, photography and digital. I worked directly on paper, canvas and digital tablet. You might see few images that are inspired by some of my favorite artists which have been incorporated into my work. The background music is "Generique" by Miles Davis which is one of my favorite piece. I hope You like it. Thank you for the interest and have a progressively creative year.
