If I could, I would have painted the world with the colours of my imagination. I love playing with bold and vibrant strokes and my paintings show a fine blend of surrealism and classicism. The beauty and the grace of the female form have always inspired me so a lot of my latter collections are based on that though my first love will always be nature. I would love to capture the beauty of everyday life and make it appear wondrous on my canvas.
