Murals
Murals are fascinating for me because they offer a large, public canvas that turns art into a shared experience. Unlike a small painting in a studio, a mural interacts with architecture, the environment, and the community. For me, it's exciting to work on a monumental scale, physically moving around the wall and seeing the artwork become part of people's daily lives. I've painted in several different countries, including Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, the USA, and Canada.
Art in Levis, Quebec
This is my Reiki studio, to transformed it into a peaceful Oriental sanctuary through art that blends Indian, Turkish, and Islamic artistic traditions. The walls feature vibrant Indian-style figures from traditional miniature paintings, Warm golden tones create an atmosphere of comfort and healing. On the ceiling, an intricate Turkish ornament radiates from the center of the room, drawing the eye upward. For the window, I handcrafted a wooden doors and decorated them with an Islamic geometric design. Together, these custom-painted elements create an environment where art, culture, and wellness meet.

Oil Painting
Oil painting was my first true passion and remains the deepest form of my artistic expression. I am fascinated by the richness of texture, the depth of color, and the emotion that oil paint can bring to life. Through every canvas, I explore memories, imagination, nature, and human feeling. My paintings are created with intuition, patience, and soul, allowing each piece to develop its own atmosphere and story. For me, oil painting is more than art, it is a lifelong connection between emotion, creativity, and the beauty of visual storytelling.
