"All art is but imitation of nature".

(Omnis ars naturae imitatio est.)- Seneca, Epistle to Lucillius.

Painting is one of the most important aspects of my life. I paint because I love to; I have tried to translate my feelings, my experiences from life,  nature and objects that surround me into my paintings.

There is such an awesome range of colours in nature. A tree for example, has innumerable hues and shades of green. The blue sky is much more complex than a plain blue. It is a challenge to capture the fragility of the flower, the luscious curves of the fruit. The sunlight creates magic to make the most ordinary subject turn exquisite.

Using bold colour I have tried to echo the beauty of nature on my canvas. The paintings capture a fleeting season and make it last forever. I hope that the viewer will derive as much enjoyment from these paintings as I have had while I was painting them.
