Artist Statement
Aphrodite’s Dream holds a deeper love, enticing you into her depths like a lover…

I have a life long love affair with ocean. I am obsessed with its beauty and the profound affinity we have with it. A childhood growing up on the beach established a deep rapport for the sea and it continues to inspire me. I feel most contented when the ocean is by my side, it soothes and awakens my soul.

I don’t have any preconceived idea, I just paint from the heart. I let the painting evolve to be what it wants to be. The sea evokes extreme emotions, I strive to capture it’s tenderness, its strength and its truth. I love the intensity of sunsets and the playfulness of the surf, I love embracing its radiance, warmth and passion. The unique intertwining of the sea and sky in my paintings is like a reflection of life itself. I hope to draw viewers into my pieces and surround them with the peace and grace I try to create. I paint my feelings so to offer them a bridge to theirs.

With the sun on my face, the wind in my hair and the sound of the waves, my heart sings. My paintings aim to be inspiring and beautiful, in their simplicity, resonating the natural inner beauty in us all.
