ARTIST STATEMENT:

I AM INFLUENCED BY ART, MUSIC, NATURE, WRITING, POETRY, BOOKS, PEOPLE, RELATIONSHIPS.  ART, WHETHER IN THE FORM OF MUSIC, PHOTOGRAPHY, PAINTINGS, WRITING OR FILM, AWAKENS EMOTION, THOUGHT AND CONNECTION TO THE SOUL.  MY ART IS MY GIFT AND CONNECTION TO THE WORLD.  I AM INSPIRED BY ITALIAN CONTEMPORARY AND CLASSICAL MUSIC.  MY WORK SIGNIFIES MY CREATIVE ABILITY TO EXPLORE IN ART AND NOT FEEL LIMITED IN ANY WAY.  MY WORK REPRESENTS AN INNER, CONTINUOUS EXPLORATION PROCESS TO DISCOVER MY SOUL'S POTENTIAL.  I AM IN MY OWN INNER STATE OF PEACE AT THE TIME OF CREATION. AT THE TIME OF CREATION, I HEAR MY OWN MUSIC AND KNOW THAT MY SOUL IS INVOLVED IN THE WORK. DURING MY PROCESS OF CREATION, I AM NOT ABSORBED BY THE ESSENCE OF TIME. MY ART IS MY STATE OF EXISTENCE IN MY OWN PLAYGROUND OF FREEDOM.  IN THIS PLAYGROUND, I AM FREE, CREATIVE, LIBERATED, AT PEACE, HAPPY, INSPIRED AND CONNECTED WITH MY SOUL. MY ART TAKES ME TO DEEPER PLACES AND ALLOWS ME TO DISCONNECT FROM THE PHYSICAL WORLD.  I EXPLORE THE FOLLOWING THEMES IN MY WORK:  POWER, CONTROL, FULFILLMENT, SELF-REALIZATION, SELF-DISCOVERY, ENLIGHTENMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, AWARENESS, INNER HAPPINESS, SELF-LOVE, DISCIPLINE, FREEDOM, FREEDOM OF CHOICE, VICTIMIZATION, NATURE.
