Statement
Reality is authentic. My paintings offer glimpses into everyday life, portrayed through oil. From the familiar sights of urban landscapes to the often-overlooked details, each piece captures the essence of the world around us. With a focus on realism, my goal is simple: to portray life as it is, without embellishment or distortion. Through keen observation and dedication, I aim to convey the beauty of ordinary moments and the subtle nuances of our surroundings.
