“Mathematics is God’s own self.”

“Born in 1956, I’m often described as a marine artist, but my passion for science runs just as deep. I’ve had the privilege of engaging with prominent scientists, particularly in physics and mathematics, both locally and internationally.

This intersection of art and science fuels my work, which I’ve coined “Art on Science.” My debut piece delves into the most abstract and perennial question humanity grapples with: the concept of God. Its backdrop comprises three layers: the ontological existence, the purpose of human existence, and our inevitable fate.

Scientifically, we understand the universe began with the laws of physics. Yet, the origin and nature of this vast natural order remain elusive. These laws, though not tangible, permeate every facet of existence—a testament to the omnipresence of mathematics. Whether you attribute it to God or another force, mathematics, the essence of these laws, stands as the universe’s creator—an incontrovertible truth.”

“My artistic pursuit lies in the realm of abstract realism, which I continue to push towards. I strive to capture the soul or essence of the subject, not just its physical form. Bold colors and loose brushstrokes become my tools, translating the energy and hidden narratives that lie beneath the surface. Each piece aspires to be an authentic exploration, inviting viewers on a personal journey to connect with the emotions and stories embedded within the textures and layers of paint.”
