ARTIST STATEMENT:

I paint with the initial goal of impressing myself. There's nothing better than that sense of self-satisfaction after having created something pretty to look at.

Secondly, I paint to express myself, no surprises there. I don't have a special technique or anything, nor do I perform a ritual before beginning. I usually just pretend the canvas is my step-dad. Ill attack his face or give him a hug. This mix of different emotions are poured into my paintings when i think about the love / hate relationship between my step-dad and I.
