The main theme I project in my paintings is human figurative comic tragedies. I paint imaginary images based on the absurdities and humor of the human race. I create stories to reflect the humor in human nature and what I witness in human behavior, beliefs and ideals in society. I make unbelievable, dreamy, theatrical, human scenes with profound childlike images. I try to capture the spontaneity, confusion and curiosity of a child's mind and put that perspective in the paintings. The paintings are overly exciting and active, like the entertainment world and our communicaton systems . Sometimes the figures are even hyper-happy. I put chaos, abstraction and confusion in my paintings to let the viewer's mind wander with curiosity and question the thought process itself. I try to make the paintings conductors to over stimulate and question our thoughts , imagination and comical ways of living in a childlike fashion.
