How would you like to be remembered?

How do you know when a piece is finished?
It is challenging to know when your work on fractal flames or digital painting is really quite
complete – there is always that thought that more finesse can be added into the work. Any art is
a process, and the same is true for finishing a painting.
What is the most inspirational place you have visited to date?
I have visited many art museums and art galleries, especially in the US. However, the most inspi-
rational place I have visited to-date is the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Arkansas. I
was fascinated by the architecture, art and the exhibitions at the museum.
Where would you take your dream vacation?

different cultures and art to further be inspired and motivated.

Breathing Life each moment is life itself and I find so much joy in that.

throughout the world because of his great artwork.
Tell us something that few people know about you?

won many accolades and awards internationally.
