I have always been fascinated by the beauty and diversity of wildlife. The way animals move, the colors of their fur, and the intricacies of their behavior inspire me to create art that captures their essence. I strive for realism in my art, not for realism's sake, but to convey the feeling of being in the presence of these magnificent creatures. I want the viewer to almost feel the texture of the fur, the warmth of their breath, and the energy of their movements. For me, wildlife is not just a subject matter, it's a source of and a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
