“The artist explains that people who relate to his works have a disposition to melancholy but that with these new paintings he hopes to touch a multitude of art lovers, all of which have a tendency towards beauty,” the gallery says. “His work takes form very intuitively with little to no planning.

He works in a layering process constantly adding paint to improve the surface of the canvas.”
