“My work is inspired by a variety of sources as Islamic Art, microscopic plant cells, medical journals and a love for the old doilies. Exploring this textures and shapes and extending its forms I intend to create a landscape that evokes feeling of cosmic exploration. Also by enlarging this imagery I articulate a language addressing issues of culture, contemplation, identity the question of our existence and remembering links to the past and the moment.

I choose images that trigger my contemplative thoughts and most importantly my works are reminders to strive for a greater understanding.”
