I have many passions ranging from photography and music all the way to education and art and even medical . I having been an avid photographer for 8 years and covered many bands from big to small for a few publications in the US my work has been seen worldwide and i also have shot for a few music venues in NYC area , My primary focus is close up shots and portraits of bands i use a range of different lenses and digital pro cameras. What got me into music initially was the fact that my father was a musician in a band that played a lot of glam rock in the mid 70's. I used to love looking at my father's band photos and would often say to myself that i would love to photograph like the photographers who had taken them in the past.

ARTIST STATEMENT (Painting)

When I create my art, I try to use colors and design to my art, as for me being a artist I use subjective content like people in situations, I feel as me being a artist and always traveling and seeing many things in my life has changed and formed me into a more intense artist in figurative art and at times abstract art too as well take Photos within Music and events .

 

I like the viewers to come to a clear understanding of my art when they looked at it in any space or gallery I try to convey different images into my work and show that it's simple to be human and to be something within you.
