Piece description from the artist
Earth Melodies
The earth, the music, the dance, all connected, communicating beautifully and intrinsically…
My art is an expression of my thoughts and my emotions, a continuation of my own feelings.
I wish you to feel the same joy that I felt when I painted it.
Mixed media on canvas
I use mixed media for my paintings because it gives me the opportunity to explore many possibilities of expressing myself using as many materials as I want.
