A Stripe could represent the end of the road or infinity depending on it's form. When I paint stripes,
I go to another place full of movement and color.

It all started by playing with color schemes back in the early 1980’s. Initially, I would create abstract drawings but then I had an epiphany. When ever I saw an artist using stripes it was always in an abstract way (minus Victor Vasarely with his Zebra images), I wanted to combine the design of stripes with a recognizable subject, hence giving something ordinary an extraordinary presents.

I paint dogs in stripes because it makes us look at dogs not just as cute or sweet animals but because they are part of our culture and painting them in stripes echoes how integrated they have become.
