Art Manifesto

Art mediates between me and myself, enabling a glimpse inside me, to the flies that keep buzzing in my head.
Art's tools make it possible to express myself and maintain my daily balance, in expressing that which is beyond words.
For me, art is a mental necessity, to express myself; I am fascinated by the work itself, by sharpening the mind, and the brainstorms accompanying it. Therefore, I enjoy participating in exhibitions arranged around concepts.
My work is characterized by mixed techniques and materials, drawings and splashes of color are laid one upon the other, expressing my inner turmoil and calm.
