Art Perspective;
I create my works with an Expressionist, Abstract Figurative approach. I am an expressionist, in my paintings, the owl and woman figures can sometimes be found in pieces in a corner of the canvas, not as a whole. Also the lines I use in my paintings are speed, energy, crowds, new technology, progress, in other words; Futurism. Artists that I am influenced by; Chagall, Cezanne, Pablo Picasso.
