In your paintings, the one on your business card specifically, the placement of the colors, and even the placement of the faces, show me the continuous cycle of life and death. As I really looked into that painting the first time, I went on a journey of birth, life, and death through different scenarios. Looking at it from different angles too showed me the same cycle, but still the scenarios were different. For example, I was able to see mountains, animals, ecosystems, and humans, all having their births, lives, and deaths. A representation of how everything in this world is alive and breathing.

I went on such a prolific mental journey that I knew I needed to find more of your work.
