Artist Bio
Colour is a language that has no barriers. Colour is a language that unifies the universe. Colour speaks, even without a word.”

My paintings began to have life, and the more I painted [these] colourful paintings, the more I began to experience a kind of break free in my own life. I began to experience peace, happiness,” he said. “The more I paint these things, the more I feel liberated. I first of all saw the healing powers of colours transforming my own life.”
