As a child, I rifled through the pages of countless art books and marveled at the brilliant images that---where seemingly still---danced before my eyes. I would spend hours shuffling through the halls of the Metropolitan to see the classics. When I made a trip to the museum of modern art at the age of 7 with my grandmother, I was at the time a bit confused. In the silence of the many people interp
reting Andy Warhols stark images, I shouted " that's stupid. that's just a can of soup! " After i said that,there were some disgruntled faces in the museum, but mostly giggling ones. Of course, now i love and fully appreciate modern art, and have experimented with it myself. I began to undertake the challenge of painting when i was ten, and since then have experimented with landscapes, realism, portraiture, illustration, murals, surrealism, and the list is endless. In high-school, I was deeply inspired by my friends who were gifted musicians. I spent many summers with my friends bands as they undertook the musical creative process and even joined in myself. I began to see how different music could affect my visual artwork and how it had many direct correlation with visual arts in general. I have always felt that the visual arts are a limitless medium to tackle any aspect of life. It is the foundation of every society and it can spread universal messages because their is no language barrier in visual arts. it speaks directly to the mind and soul. I love every moment that I spend working on my artwork. It brings me joy and peace like nothing else can.
