The Art ...
Art is a part of people's daily lives, and thus belongs in homes rather than only upon the walls of affluent collectors. By rendering these works as limited edition prints (only fifty prints of each work will ever be produced), the artist invites you to acquire inspiring hand-signed art at an affordable price.
The sizes of the prints is designed to fit on anyone's walls, either by itself, or along with other works. The humility expressed by the size interacts strongly with the unique vividness of the colors, shapes and statements of the art itself. The artist uses unique and unusual applications which vary from doodles reworked with photographic manipulation, to paintings done with unconventional colors and techniques.
The colorful subjects include interpretations of nature, fantasies, and emotional expressions tinted by a distinct joy of colors. The subjects of most of the black and white works express a social commentary.
