GALLERY
My artwork gallery is organized into three main categories:
Technique — works related to techniques such as Puzzle Art & 4D, Interlineation, and Recycle Art
Stage — works from the Sunflower stage, where the artworks are connected by subject and style
Themes — works such as Figurative, Landscape, and Nude, explored across different artistic languages

Puzzle Art & 4D A pioneering technique in the visual arts. By moving or exchanging the canvases in diptychs, triptychs, and polyptychs, the image transforms and reveals new visual possibilities. I named this technique Puzzle Art. In addition, it also reflects the concept of the fourth dimension, which I named 4D. (abstract figurative)
Interlineation This technique is the result of years of experimentation and research throughout my artistic journey. By gluing strings to delineate implied figures, I discovered a process that gives me the freedom to create intuitively and subconsciously. I named it Interlineation. (abstract figurative)
Recycle Art In the mid-1990s, I began experimenting with three-dimensional materials and collage, using found objects and discarded materials to give them new meaning. I named this approach Recycle Art. (abstract figurative)
Sunflowers This stage features sunflowers and animals, created with the same technique and style: acrylic and abstract figurative language.
Figurative This theme presents numerous figurative works created in different techniques, including acrylic and mixed media, and in styles such as realism, surrealism, and expressionism.
Landscape This theme presents numerous landscapes created in different techniques, including oil and acrylic, and in styles such as realism, surrealism, cubism, and abstract figurative language.
Nude This theme presents numerous nude works created in different techniques, including oil, acrylic, and mixed media, and in styles such as realism, surrealism, cubism, and abstract figurative language.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Since 1985, my artistic practice has been driven by a continuous exploration of form, material, and spatial dimensionality. As a self-taught artist, my work evolves through rigorous experimentation, leading to the development of signature techniques including Recycle Art, Interlineation, and Puzzle Art & 4D. Rather than operating in isolation, these methods frequently coexist within a single composition, pushing the boundaries of contemporary mixed media.
Nature serves as a foundational anchor in my practice, providing organic rhythms, intricate details, and a quiet poetic force that guides each visual narrative. Every artwork is a meticulous co-creation between the raw material, technical precision, and conceptual discovery. Ultimately, my work aims to challenge traditional perception, transforming flat surfaces into multi-layered experiences that reveal the extraordinary within the everyday.
