Artist Statement
When I was a child I liked drawing many things I saw that I thought were beautiful. Since Jesus Christ came into my life I began to recognize the beauty of Christ that only the eyes of the heart can see. I want to do art that can express who Christ is according to the Bible. I think that ink drawings are like classical etchings in their simplicity and I believe that they also convey the humble life of Jesus through their simplicity.
Frankly, my work is hard work because it requires that I become quiet and humble my heart to become peaceful. I must concentrate my mind to do each stroke without a mistake. Once a mistake happens I have to change to another paper.
I am so glad to share these pictures with you and I hope you like them. Thank you very much!
