The subject of light and its perception is prominent in my compositions. This piece is inspired by how we perceive inner light and its reflections when we look into human’s eyes. We can see contrasts of colors influenced by emotions, by our past, and even by the weather and our surrounding environment. This piece is also inspired by Matthew’s:“You draw light into your body through your eyes, and light shines out to the world through your eyes”.
