"My art is inundated with spirituality and symbolism and portrays several cultural, sociological and cosmological messages. Symbols represent the inter-relationship between man and universe, the visible and the invisible, the real and the intangible, the eternal and the fleeting, the natural and the supernatural. Only by understanding this inter-relationship we will be able to understand ourselves.
Symbols represent universal patterns of human thought that reside in our collective subconscious. They have played a very important part in the history of mankind, from religion to politics, art, sociology, mythology, etc. In this series I portray the importance of symbolism in the Pre Columbian Cultures of America.
