ARTIST'S STATEMENT
"As an artist I strive for the appropriate expression of what is, to me, the real object of all art, rather than merely try to create an artwork for the eye.

The Seductive Angel is a result of my imagination taking free course when thinking of angels; The Seductive Angel portrays the unusual. She is pure and innocent, yet very appealing and traitorous; a world of impossibility still to be discovered…"
