'The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious — the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.'
- Albert Einstein

I’m intrigued with the mysteries of the world; ideas about the unknown, myths, legends and stories of all kind. Even though my work often depicts fantastical elements, its subject matter usually involves issues of culture, science, politics and nature.

My work always carries a narrative filled with signs and symbols. You could say, my love of storytelling has found its way into my work. And what stories could be better, than the ones that explain our world and at the same time reach to worlds yet unknown.
