“ I observe nature in a relentless search for the light that infiltrates it, because light illuminates thought, and constant thought leads to philosophy—the window through which we view and understand everything around us. Using observation and scientific and philosophical questioning as a basis, I seek to represent reality, imitating the great masters, thus capturing life on canvas.”
