I grew up around the theatre. My parents used to take me to work when they were performing and I remember watching actors from the wings, observing how they celebrated the human condition on stage by impersonating the full spectrum of the human emotions.​

This is what greatly inspired and influenced my work. Whether it is a real-life portrait or a picture resulting from my own imagination, I strive to capture the subject's emotions while also guiding the observer to experience the feelings I intend to convey.
