“Spiritual life is a matter of perception and not one of mechanical conformity to set rules.”

About the Artist

For the Artist, art is more than creation — it is imagination, intuition, and a lifelong love for expression. This journey has taken the Artist across Europe and beyond, from the galleries of London and Paris to exhibitions around the world. Along the way, the Artist has immersed in diverse artistic traditions, observing how creativity takes shape in different cultures and contexts. Each experience has deepened understanding of art and enriched a unique creative voice. The Artist’s work is not confined to technique alone; it is a reflection of vision and sensitivity, shaped by what has been seen, felt, and experienced. Every piece tells a story — bridging observation with imagination, and learning with creation. Art, for the Artist, is passion, intuition, and a way of sharing beauty with the world.

Featured Work

“This piece is a watercolor exploration of imagination — a swirling cyclone of thought, emotion, and expression. The fluidity of the medium reflects both hunger and longing, while the lean, flowing forms suggest movement and vulnerability. Rooted in the spirit of the USA, the work captures the restless energy of creativity and the endless possibilities born from imagination.”

“This artwork is inspired by the art of Penguin, which I had the privilege of witnessing in person while visiting my mother’s place. It reflects a deeply personal connection — a blending of memory, heritage, and lived experience.”

“This artwork portrays the green crab, a unique species often seen as an outsider arriving from distant shores. The piece is a fusion of intuition and imagination.

“Squirrel One will be showcased at the upcoming local art exhibition in Aberdeen’s Healing Gallery next week. This work captures a playful yet thoughtful spirit, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the small wonders of nature.”
