Thank you for sharing. I can relate with the emotions in Anti-Heroes, was relieved to see the last work’s spirit [Cleanliness]. Art is such a great way to express, and enjoyed seeing your work in progress. Keep going! 🙂
Very nice !
I do not understand it, but I like it 🙂
Fun colors.
Loved Across the Universe !
Loved the use of organic shapes & color.
My favorite is Cleanliness is Next to Godliness.
Very interesting and pleasing work. Quite enjoyed the Once There Were Three Bulls, and was curious to know about Bismillah, which poses a significant meaning in Arabic. Much applauded.
I enjoyed your work, especially Cleanliness is Next to Godliness.
Very intriguing art! We enjoyed Across the Universe most. ❤️ ☮️🙂
Awesome art! We liked Across the Universe + One Cut Too Many.
I love the art & use of primary colors. And it’s cool you sawed through a canvas, ha-ha. Wishing the best !
Maksy and I like the Bulls.
Love it.
Interesting. Would like to have Bismillah [Queen ref?].
Cool.
Interesting.
Beautiful and interesting!! All the primary colors together look really cool.
Amazing colors 🙂
Really dope.
Beautiful!! Anti-Heroes Die Alone in the Dark is a personal favorite ❤️
Love that simple colors/image does not always mean simple message. Favorites are One Cut Too Many, and At the Still Life Drawing 🙂
Really likes these.
I came to the library to find a book. When I glanced to my right my eye seized upon a distant starry place. Upon entering my curiosity was thoroughly peaked [sic]. What a dazzling display! I sat down. My least favorite, if possible to have, was the starry night [Across the Universe]. Examining each piece, my brain was tickled with delight. I saw things I would do different, and I saw others that never occurred to me to do. Then I came to the starry night. “Acrylic on canvass”?! Surely not so, this must be painted brush hairs... I looked at the edge peering hopelessly to see the many fibers. It was paint! With glitter added to some other texture-y shadowy effect. “Wow,” I said to myself, “This is awesome”! Then I thought about how modern art was bumbling along for the longest time and where it might have gone. Thank you.
Nice !
🙂
I love the simplicity. Loss of Direction was my favorite !
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing. Winds of Change is very thought provoking.
Very good. Reminded me of a Dutch painter - Pieter Cornelis Mondrian, one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
Really enjoyed your work! One Cut Too Many 🙂
Such huge awesome art! P.s. Your Once There Were Five Bulls piece the reason Red Bull comes in a four-pack? 🙂
Very nice! We like the Bulls best + Bismillah.
Amazing! My favorite color combo in wonderful arrangements. Can’t wait to share with friends! Thanks for opportunity !
Beautiful, abstract use of the shapes and primary colors. My favorite painting was Bismillah for its color effects.
LOVE your style !
