competitions and he has been published in many art magazines. Of his
work, he says : “My vision is like a dream, whether it’s a sweet dream, a
nightmare, or just a trippy dream. I try to see what’s really going on
in my mind, and that’s a practice to increase my awareness in
stream-of-consciousness creativity. I try not to label or think about
what is supposed to be, just take it in as it i and paint whatever I see
in my mind with no compromise. That way, I create mu own vision.”
