"The reality, a canvas unfurled before our eyes, is not what it seems. To observe is to plunge into an ocean of mystery; at times, we close our eyes to delve into the depths. From this dance of shadows, portraits emerge, capturing the essence of souls. Lines and colors intertwine, and our senses immerse into a dreamlike world, a parallel universe, separate from the alleged reality. Within every human being, a soul resides, unveiled solely by the gaze of consciousness. In this ethereal dance, art is to contemplate and portray the soul in each portrait."

The latter delves into the digital realm, using pixels to paint and compose artistically, what he calls "Pictorial Metapixelation" or simply "Pictorial Pixelism."
