On my paintings   

I could draw a flower, an impressive, sentimental face, an ideal figure and also could use beautiful colours.
We know, the Hero is always made by us, in a sense we are not less powerful than the Hero.
In my painting I want to get a little satisfaction of freedom either by handing the subject or coming up with the title. The dominating figure (Hero) may be decomposed and defective, fake and false, and male-female both. In my work relative surroundings appear according to the sequence. I prefer to apply popularly used images.
