He speaks:
"Through the window of my soul" reveals how my life journey is reflected through my paintings.

“Looking out”
window1(1993) Water colour on paper, 15”x 15”
Through the window of my soul,
I began my journey into the deeper realities of life.
“Inner self”
unclear images          (1995) Acrylic on paper 18”x20”
As I peeped out into the world, I was led reversely into my inner self
where I saw the unclear images of reality.


“In and out”

Gradually these unclear images began to reveal themselves.
 A window with a ladder reveals the interior and exterior journey of my self.


“Inner dynamism”

In this transaction I began to see
my strengths and weaknesses, wholeness and brokenness.


“Encounter”

In this brokenness I encountered Jesus in the depth of my being,
who consoled me.


“Solidarity”
pieta    (1995) Acrylic on paper  18”x20”
I began to identify myself with the broken body of Christ,
and at the same time experienced the love of my Mother.


“His body”
the church(1995) Acrylic on paper 20”x26”
The niches led me to see the universal body of Christ.
 This led me to the Church on Earth, i.e. all the people of God.


“Storm”

Yet something was missing.
There was a storm raging within, a battle going on within me.


“Lost”
lost(1996) Acrylic on Canvas 20”x30”
I was feeling lonely in the midst of all my friends and family.


“Longing”
longing(1996) Acrylic on Canvas 12”x15”
Something was holding me from being free.
That was none other than the one whom I loved more than myself,
 and was ready to do any thing for her.
