I have been practicing Modern art with different mediums and with different techniques. I enjoy pushing myself on the canvas and trying new things. I like to say I fail more than I succeed but my main flow is not branching out into the other mediums of art and self expression it is not that. I do not enjoy it because I am too lazy to try my abilities. I first realized I had a thing for art , especially Fluid and Pop art, in bachelors when I took paintings and instantly fell in love with the colors and techniques ever since my first day working with paints I haven't looked back. I prefer throwing but it was fun to create the amazing dramatic pieces.
