My subjects are fragmented. From abstract process based images to the occasional representational depictions. They are results of my pursuit of keeping up with fleeting and ephemeral state of things, both physical and poetical. Like the short-lived flight of paper planes, or my childhood memories of them. Sometimes dynamisms manifest into objects in my paintings. Objects like the energetic capillaries of marble slabs. These images are my attempts to put them a little closer to permanence.
