My Canvas

I specialize in acrylic on canvas and surreal concepts.

While Im a professionally trained Fine artist I i have found a deep connection to not just traditional paintings but also wall art, interior design , body painting and fashion.

I love how all these mediums communicates so much of the creator to the audience.
