Fables - Artist Statement

The Fable series are a reflection of my spiritual search. They are revelations on feelings and behaviors that bring us closer to or take us further away from a sense of fulfillment and happiness. They are fantasies where human relationships are being challenged, the characters make mistakes, strive to mend these mistakes and sometimes achieve divine sense of harmony. The figures possess special powers that sometimes bring suffering to themselves and others or enable them to transcend suffering and reach fulfillment.

In the paintings, we see the effects of choices, such as seeking the truth or avoiding it, listening to others or ignoring them, seeing the divine in the others or constructing horrific perception of them.

The Fable series propose that in order to have a rich life and relationships one has to become vulnerable, has to have the courage to offer tenderness and take the risk of being hurt. We must really try to see and listen to each other and access the world together.
