"Man was meant to create and make a better world around about. The beauty of nature and all the abstract shapes that make up many objects, stimulate our creativity. I enjoy finding those abstractions and applying them in my artwork. It gives movement and interest to a surface, and brings entertainment and fulfilment in discovery. It depletes dullness from existence. "
