My project is about digitalized life and its effect. We are now in a world where everything is technology. And it seems that digits are everywhere. So digital painting is become a form of Art. My digital art with illumination only indicates how fast we are moving towards light. And when light appears nothing exits in front of it. Light means dream, hope, life, purity. In my work I project light, as if, it became the life of the art. The light along with the painting distract people and also it attracts people. By bold and straight use of illumination, it takes away anything but itself. We are going thought a technological revolution and I want to admit that I am also a part of it.

“I am a part of today’s technological revolution. I want people to see the light. Art is no more important. But light (illumination) is. Cause we can only see if there is light, if not, we don’t see at all.”
My current series of works are mainly in two media. Traditional and Digital. I want to see the possibilities. To me art is nothing but possibility and search, search and possibility. In traditional media (like water, and mostly oil) I usually work on a few paintings simultaneously. I start every painting day by looking at my unfinished paintings for a long time, and repeat this a few times a day. Often I’ll look at a painting for months without touching it, considering what it still needs. This way it can take months or years from the inception of a painting till its completion. But when I do it with computer the whole process may be takes few hours. This is interesting!
My subject matter is always abstract. I believe that abstraction is the core of life and the universe. Abstraction is the ultimate of any creation. From beginning to end. I don’t want to be explaining rather challenging the explanation every time. So nothing stops. Everything keeps going and going. Thus life goes on.
