“I have no special education in Art, but it does not prevent me from loving art. I draw for my own pleasure.”

He loves to travel, and most of his subjects are inspired by his journeys. His paintings have found homes in private collections across England, America, Australia, and Europe. He works on high-quality watercolor paper made of 100% cotton with a density of 300 grams per meter, which ensures durability and prevents warping.
He believes that attitudes toward watercolor painting have changed significantly in recent years.
More people are choosing watercolors over oil paintings. He recomends framing watercolors with glass and a passe-partout to protect them from ultraviolet light, dust, and moisture. He advises against using anti-glare glass because it dulls the brightness of the paints.
