Through my paintings, I attempt to capture the radiance of the soul through the symbolism of celestial orbs including the sun, the moon, and other spheres. I harness the power of color, shadows, and light, using them as messengers to reflect hidden feelings. When lightning flashes through the window of the eyes or knocks on the door of the heart, the soul receives it and turns it into a shining light that is limited by neither time nor place. It is through the radiance of a soul that we savor the meaning of eternity in one moment that arrives suddenly and just as unexpectedly ends.
