activity as a theorist in psychotherapy and his intense expressive research has lead him in recent years
to dominate masterfully the language of digital artistry. All of the inspiring motives of his creative work
derive from his own human and professional experiences, as is evident in the cycles of works he has
completed over the last ten years. In early 2000, he began to exhibit his work in international galleries
and museums, as well as in public and private collections.
