Statement

The only thing that inspires me in art is a life of a human being. The sources of my inspiration include the following: the mythology, Bible, the history of the human being itself and my own life experience.

My soul is filled with constant concerns for people, which motivate my inspiration. My main concern is the way people treat one another and also their thoughts and the way they act in society.

The main goal of my artwork is to show the man in his highest emotional state, but not to show the outside of the human being but rather the interior of himself that consists of his soul and his state of mind expressed through the body of the human being. I express that state of mind in a form of the human figure because it is the most absolute form that was produced by nature and therefore the one that interests me the most and the image best understood through the eyes of other people.

The esthetic idea of art is for me that which supplied the humanity with the best artwork. This idea is the creation of sculpture as realization of the plastic form and realization of the beauty of the human body.

My moral concept in art is to show the best morals of the human soul and to show to people that the human being is the divine creation and therefore must live by the divine morals.
