Attention Art Lovers: I will be presenting a solo exhibition of up to 25 original surreal artworks on the walls of Café Pi for the duration of a month. The themes range from advertising and pop culture to machines, mythology, nature, religion and humanity. They are done in many different sizes and media so there should be something for everybody to enjoy. All the works are available for sale at reasonable prices. I'd absolutely love for all my friends to come by and check it out and invite their friends as well. The Vernissage is next Friday night (3rd Feb) but the show's on for a month so if you can't make it then it's alright. Drop in anytime through February for Café Pi's amazing coffee and munchies and get lost in some strange paintings...Whether you leave enchanted, confused or disturbed the experience will be not one to miss..so do come!! Merci.

About Me
I'm a 20-year-old French-Canadian, self-taught artist. I was born in India and traveled extensively throughout Asia in my youth, which left a lasting impression on me and my work.

I enjoy experimenting widely with a range of media and pushing the boundaries of painting by incorporating sculpture and tactile elements with my works.

Matter becomes metaphor, the ordinary object achieves extraordinary status, and the resulting images evoke emotional disturbance and ambiguity in place of specific ideas. It was always

Flaggstaff State Penitentiary - 1989
Up and down, up and down, the tall guard with the powerful flashlight paced the narrow corridor beaming light into the shadowy cells. He wore ankle boots with florescent soles, which scuffed along the dirty concrete as he made his rounds. He was chewing gum and he hawked it into one of the cells as he passed by. Someone, something cursed in the darkness then turned over and was quiet.
The guard chuckled and a self-satisfied smirk flashed across his hideously scarred face. There was a certain satisfaction to be had from making life hell for the prisoners on this sm

My Apartment
It is precisely 10:17 am on October the 22nd 1987. The temperature outside is 15 degrees Celsius, Humidity - 31%, Wind speed – 5 km.ph. In short it is a perfectly horrid day to be at the office or anywhere in fact, but where I am right now, slumped in a cream leather, molded armchair staring stupidly at my brand new Sonora Deluxe meteorological timepiece, and admiring all the details of its fine workmanship. From the sleek design of the ivory gilt base to the softly luminescent LCD screen, every ounce of its handcrafted 300$ frame breathes elegance. It's also a Limited Edition Model
